Pre and post-operative rehabilitation plays a vital role in achieving the best possible recovery following surgery. Before surgery, osteopathic treatment focuses on preparing the body by improving joint mobility, muscle balance, circulation, and overall function. This helps optimise the body’s condition, potentially reducing complications and promoting a faster recovery.

After surgery, osteopathic care supports the healing process by gently restoring movement, reducing swelling and scar tissue formation, and relieving compensatory strain in surrounding areas. Techniques may include soft tissue therapy, gentle mobilisation, lymphatic drainage, and tailored exercise programs to rebuild strength and flexibility.

By addressing both the physical and functional aspects of recovery, osteopathic rehabilitation helps patients regain confidence in movement, reduce pain, and return to their normal activities safely and effectively.
