Pre and Post Surgery Effect

Exercising not only makes you fit physically but also mentally. It is rightly said that by exercising daily you overcome for about 60% of your problems.

You must have been going through a surgery may be because you were not able to overcome your pain or problems by exercising (or because you never made an eff ort to exercise!)

There are three stages of surgery namely: pre, intra and post-operative.

 

Prior or pre-operative surgery means, the medical examination and exercises which are being prescribed before going through a surgery (medical examination like blood tests, sugar level, x-rays etc). It is always better to have physiotherapy sessions before surgery as it helps in the movements and improves the blood circulation. It is seen that if you exercise for about 40 to 60 mins. From 6 months before your surgery you will be able to recover from it faster which would also, nurture your immune system. Preoperative therapy increases the chance of your surgery being successful!

Now, Post-operative, after you have undergone a surgery special care is required. Physiotherapy plays an integral role in post operation (it is very essential specially in the case of orthopaedic surgery). After surgery our body becomes weak and muscles start to loosen. For speedy recovery doctor suggests you to exercise but, as your body becomes weaker so there shall be a proper consultation and a complete supervision of a physiotherapist, who would propose exercises as per your current body need. It helps your muscle tighten and strengthen your immune. Postoperative exercising is important as it helps you recover from the surgery better and does not require a lot of after medication.
