Understanding Orthopaedic Injuries and Conditions

Orthopaedic issues can arise from a wide range of causes, including trauma, wear and tear, congenital abnormalities, and degenerative diseases. Common orthopaedic conditions may include:

1. Fractures and dislocations
2. Sprains and strains
3. Osteoarthritis and other degenerative joint diseases
4. Tendonitis and bursitis
5. Ligament injuries, such as ACL tears
6. Spinal conditions, including disc herniations, spinal stenosis, and spondylolisthesis.

Orthopaedic Physiotherapy Services

At Whitehorse Physiotherapy, our skilled professionals offer a variety of orthopaedic physiotherapy services designed to address the diverse needs of our patients. These services include:

1. Comprehensive assessment and evaluation: Our orthopaedic physiotherapists will perform a thorough assessment of your condition, including a detailed examination of your functional abilities and impairments, to develop a personalized treatment plan.
2. Manual therapy techniques: To address joint and soft tissue restrictions, our therapists utilize various hands-on techniques, such as mobilization, manipulation, and soft tissue release.
3. Therapeutic exercise prescription: A progressive exercise program, tailored to your specific needs, is essential for restoring strength, flexibility, and function following an orthopaedic injury or surgery.
4. Education and self-management strategies: Our therapists will provide you with the necessary knowledge and tools to manage your condition and prevent future issues more effectively.

Post-Surgery Rehabilitation

After undergoing orthopaedic surgery, proper rehabilitation is crucial for achieving optimal outcomes. At Whitehorse Physiotherapy, our post-surgery rehabilitation programs focus on the following principles:

1. Promote healing and minimize complications: Early intervention with physiotherapy can help reduce pain, inflammation, and the risk of postoperative complications, such as blood clots and stiffness.
2. Restore range of motion and function: Our therapists will develop a progressive exercise program designed to improve joint mobility, restore muscle strength, and enhance overall function.
3. Maintain independence and daily function: Throughout the rehabilitation process, our team will work closely with you to ensure you can maintain as much independence as possible in your daily activities while recovering from surgery.

Orthopaedic Prehabilitation

In some cases, undergoing physiotherapy before an orthopaedic surgery can significantly improve surgical outcomes and postoperative recovery. This process, known as prehabilitation, allows our therapists to:

1. Assess your baseline function and establish realistic post-surgery goals
2. Improve strength, flexibility, and balance before surgery
3. Familiarize you with postoperative exercises and rehabilitation protocols
4. Provide education on what to expect during and after your surgery
5. Optimize your overall physical and mental health in preparation for surgery.
