Before the procedure, physiotherapy exercises allow for preparation and strengthening of the body. On the other hand, the postoperative physiotherapy process speeds up the body’s regeneration and enables a faster return to preoperative efficiency, and in many cases increases preoperative potential.
Physiotherapists at Paley European Institute collaborate with Patients with congenital, developmental and post-traumatic orthopedic and neurological disorders, as well as athletes and amateurs. Physiotherapy is directed towards children and adults of all ages – from infants to adults.
So that it is not an unpleasant duty for them, but rather a fun and enjoyable time. They utilize international methods of improvement such as PNF, Bobath NDT, osteopathy, manual therapy, sensory integration therapy, Vojta method therapy, occupational therapy – hand therapy, forced-use activity therapy CIMT (Constraint Induced Movement Therapy), bimanual therapy, sensory integration.
The strength of rehabilitation at Paley European Institute is also the interdisciplinary and comprehensive approach to the treatment process, which takes place in constant cooperation with the orthopedic doctor and psychologist.
The purpose of a consultation with a physiotherapist is to asses the functional state of the Patient, assess the need for orthopedic equipment necessary after surgery and to plan the process of postoperative rehabilitation. Orthopedic equipment used by the Patient (e. g. orthesis, walker, tripod) should be brought to the appointment. This is also a good time to ask the physiotherapist about the equipment necessary during the treatment and preparation for the procedure.
The key to success is full cooperation between the physiotherapist and the patient. In the process of preparation for the procedure and regaining efficiency, the physiotherapist may recommend special exercises prepared for the patient in domestic conditions that will actively support the rehabilitation process. To make it as fast and smooth as possible, the patient’s engagement and compliance with recommendations are essential.
Since every Patient has different physical abilities and limitations, the physiotherapy process and recovery of efficiency is a highly individual matter. Health status and physical condition before surgery play a significant role in determining the possibilities after surgery. Exercise is an important element in physiotherapy because it increases muscle strength, allows for range of motion maintenance in joints, and causes overall physical condition improvement.
