Therapies Recommended after a Surgery
Surgeries, while often a last resort, may not necessarily be the end of treatment. Many a time, a surgery may cause certain after-effects that need to be dealt with, with as much urgency as the surgery itself. These side-effects may vary, depending on the surgery you have undergone and the area that has been operated on. Enquiring with your provider is often helpful in understanding what sort of therapy you must opt for after you have had your surgery. Here are some of the recommended therapies:
Physical therapy Physical therapy is a mandate after a surgery for more reasons than one. Patients are advised to undergo physiotherapy once a surgery has taken place in order to ensure quick recovery. Physical therapy is proven to not only improve balance and movements of the limbs but also the range of movement of the part of your body that has been operated on.
Lymph drainage therapy Often, there are chances of the wound being infected or bruising causing a collecting of lymph fluids in the affected area. Manual lymph drainage therapy has been opted for by many who have undergone surgery and require a reduction in the swelling or treating of the wound infection that has caused a fluid collection. There are a number of therapists offering lymphatic massage in San Diego that you can choose from.
