INDIVIDUALIZED TREATMENT PLANS: Our experienced physiotherapists create personalized treatment plans based on the specific ligament that has been repaired or reconstructed, the surgical technique used, and the individual’s unique needs and goals. Treatment plans are tailored to address pain management, restore range of motion, improve strength and stability, and promote functional abilities.

PAIN MANAGEMENT: Effective pain management is essential to facilitate rehabilitation and recovery. Our physiotherapists employ various techniques and modalities to help individuals manage pain after ligament surgery. This may include manual therapy, electrical modalities, ice or heat therapy, and specific exercises aimed at reducing pain and inflammation. By addressing pain, we create a more comfortable environment for rehabilitation.

RANGE OF MOTION EXERCISES: After ligament surgery, regaining full range of motion in the affected joint is a primary goal. Our rehabilitation program includes specific exercises and techniques to improve joint flexibility and restore normal range of motion. These exercises may involve passive range of motion exercises, active-assisted exercises, and active range of motion exercises. Gradually increasing the range of motion helps prevent joint stiffness and promotes functional mobility.

STRENGTHENING AND STABILITY TRAINING: Ligament surgery can result in muscle weakness and instability. Our rehabilitation program focuses on strengthening the surrounding muscles to support the repaired ligament and improve overall joint stability. Therapeutic exercises are incorporated to target specific muscle groups, gradually increasing resistance and intensity to build strength and enhance joint stability.

PROPRIOCEPTION AND BALANCE TRAINING: After ligament surgery, restoring proprioception (the body’s ability to sense joint position) and balance is crucial. Our program includes exercises and activities that challenge proprioceptive feedback and improve balance. These may include balance boards, stability exercises, and proprioceptive drills to enhance joint control and reduce the risk of re-injury.

FUNCTIONAL REHABILITATION: The ultimate goal of post ligament surgery rehabilitation is to restore individuals’ ability to perform their daily activities and return to their pre-injury level of function. Our program includes functional rehabilitation exercises and activities that mimic real-life movements and tasks. This may involve sport-specific movements, functional exercises, and activities tailored to the individual’s specific needs and goals.

GRADUATED RETURN TO ACTIVITY: Returning to sports or other physical activities after ligament surgery requires a carefully planned progression. Our physiotherapists guide individuals through a gradual return-to-activity program, ensuring that they meet specific milestones and are ready to safely resume their desired activities. This may involve sport-specific drills, sport-specific training, and a focus on building endurance and sport-specific skills.

EDUCATION AND HOME EXERCISE PROGRAMS: Education is a vital component of post ligament surgery rehabilitation. Our physiotherapists provide individuals with information on precautions, self-care strategies, and home exercise programs to continue their rehabilitation progress outside of therapy sessions. We empower individuals with knowledge and tools for self-management, promoting long-term success and minimizing the risk of re-injury.

PROGRESS MONITORING AND COMMUNICATION: Throughout the post ligament surgery rehabilitation program, our physiotherapists closely monitor individuals’ progress, assess their functional abilities, and make adjustments to the treatment plan as needed. Regular communication with individuals and their healthcare team ensures a collaborative approach to recovery and optimal outcomes.

SUPPORT AND MOTIVATION: Recovering from ligament surgery can be physically and emotionally challenging. Our physiotherapists provide continuous support, encouragement, and motivation to individuals throughout their rehabilitation journey. We understand the importance of a positive and supportive environment in facilitating successful recovery.
