Recovery After a Hospital Stay or Surgery – At Home
Understanding Recovery After Hospitalisation or Surgery
Receiving a discharge from the hospitals or being able to return home following surgery is an important step, but it’s just the beginning of your healing process. A lot of people experience decreased range of motion, tiredness, weakening, or anxiety following lengthy hospitalizations or surgeries. If your recovery is due to joint replacement or cardiac surgery, or a prolonged illness, physiotherapy is essential to regaining strength, restoring confidence and independence, while decreasing the chance of developing complications. Rehab Therapist provides customized home-based rehabilitation that will help you through each stage of your recovery.
Common Challenges After Hospital Stays or Surgery
Muscle Weakness and Deconditioning
The deconditioning of muscles and muscle weakness time in bed can result in an increase in the strength of muscles and their endurance which makes the daily chores more difficult after returning home
Reduced Mobility and Balance Issues
Post-operative stiffness, or fear of falling may hinder movement and delay a return to regular activities, such as climbing stairs or walking.
Pain and Discomfort
