Physiotherapy for Clients Who Undergo ACL, Rotator Cuff,
Spinal or Ankle Surgeries

Accelerate Your Recovery From ACL, Rotator Cuff, Spinal or
Ankle Surgeries With Tailor-Made Physiotherapy

If you’ve been feeling uneasy about an upcoming surgery for your ACL, rotator cuff, spine, or ankle, we here at Get Right Physio are here to quell some of those anxieties. 

 

We are a physiotherapy service based in Toronto that works with satisfied clients daily to give people like you the best recovery outcomes after surgery. 

 

Anyone recuperating after an ACL, rotator cuff, spinal, or ankle surgery should follow a personalized treatment plan crafted by one of our specialists to restore mobility, strength, coordination, and independence.

 

Start planning your post-surgery care by setting up a consultation with one of our compassionate and professional therapists, who will know what’s required to get your body back to its old self.

What Are ACL, Rotator Cuff, Spinal and Ankle Surgeries?

ACL, rotator cuff, spinal and ankle surgeries are four distinct procedures that are carried out to reduce pain and repair damage in specific parts of the body.

 

ACL refers to the anterior cruciate ligament, a tissue that’s found in the knee that connects the thigh and shin bones. Surgery is typically performed on the ACL if a complete or, in some cases, a partial tear occurs.

 

Your rotator cuff is a collection of muscles and tendons that support the shoulder joint and allow movement. Similar to ACL injuries, a tear in the rotator cuff often warrants surgery.

 

Spinal surgeries are necessary for a plethora of different reasons, and among the most common are to treat spine deformities, herniated disks, stenosis, and multiple other issues relating to the spine.

 

Ankles are among the most frequently injured parts of the body due to people hurting themselves when exercising. Surgery may be required to mend fractures, reduce arthritis pain, and treat damaged ligaments or tendons.

How Do We Use Physiotherapy to Treat ACL, Rotator Cuff, Spinal and Ankle Surgeries?

After you’ve successfully undergone ACL, rotator cuff, spine, or ankle surgery, your doctor will talk you through the recovery process you’ll complete to ensure optimum results. 

 

This will include physiotherapy treatment, which usually begins within the weeks following the procedure, depending on the nature of the surgery and recommended healing times. We offer our physio services in houses and condos, hospitals, long-term care facilities, and retirement homes.

 

When you’re advised to start physical therapy, you’ll begin by meeting with one of your therapists to discuss how you’re feeling post-surgery, make note of any side effects, and partake in various assessments. The examinations your therapist will conduct will vary based on the type of surgery you’ve had but will usually involve checking for mobility, function, and flexibility in the affected area while also looking out for pain and swelling.

 

From here, your therapist will formulate a rehabilitation programme specific to your needs and expected progress. This plan will be multi-faceted and often consists of exercises to promote strength, balance, and coordination, as well as hot, cold, and massage therapies.

 

The key aims of physiotherapy for clients recovering from ACL, rotator cuff, spine, or ankle surgery include:

 

  • Restoring the full function of the affected area
  • Minimizing pain and swelling
  • Regaining strength and range of motion
  • Improving flexibility and agility

Benefits of Physiotherapy for ACL, Rotator Cuff, Spinal and Ankle Surgeries

Physiotherapy for ACL, rotator cuff, spine, or ankle surgeries offers a host of benefits, most notably in guiding clients through their journey to complete recovery. Some other benefits of this treatment include:

  • Physiotherapy allows clients to return to their daily lives through a smooth and gradual transition process. As you make gains during your treatment, you’ll steadily begin to introduce routine tasks and activities back into your life. Your therapist will help you to determine how and when to do this without setting your rehabilitation back.
  • Attending physiotherapy is the best chance to avoid further potential injuries and repeated damage. By increasing the strength and endurance of your muscles, joints, ligaments, and tendons during your physio sessions, you’ll lower your risk of additional or returning injuries.
  • You can enjoy a better quality of life through physiotherapy, as your therapist will work with you to bring down pain and discomfort. Moreover, you’ll develop strategies to combat pain when it does strike to deal with it effectively.

Frequently Asked Questions

Weight-bearing exercises may be introduced early in your physiotherapy programme, sometimes within the first week. That being said, such exercises will generally work on tolerating minimal weight, which will slowly increase as you become stronger.

 

It’s important to note that, outside of your physiotherapy sessions, you should avoid weight-bearing activities until your therapist deems you well enough, which may not be for 6-8 weeks.

After completing rotator cuff surgery, it often takes up to one year to regain full function of your shoulder. This doesn’t mean that your shoulder won’t be healed until then, but it does mean that you may not have full use of the affected muscles and tendons. 

 

It’s important to note that this timeframe may be adjusted for different clients.

Within 4-8 weeks, you’ll gradually become strong and mobile enough to reintroduce many of your everyday activities into your routine, particularly if you work a sedentary job. 

 

Clients who have strenuous, manual jobs and partake in high-impact physical activities may not be able to resume them as quickly and should seek advice from their therapist before doing so.

Your physiotherapist will work on several mobility and strength-enhancing exercises with you, some of which you’ll also complete at home. These may include:

 

  • Ankles circles
  • Calf stretches
  • One-leg stands
  • Heel raises
  • Ankle pumps

    Thanks you to Get Right Physio and especially Sabrina for getting my 90 year old mother back on her feet after hip replacement surgery. I was very pleased with the company’s professional expertise and for sending us the right therapist for my mother. Sabrina was very kind, knowledgeable and understanding. I would not hesitate to use the company again.

    Claudia was highly professional and had a wealth of knowledge to answer all my questions about pelvic floor health and muscle pain post partum. She was friendly and really took the time to teach me the exercises and go at a pace I was comfortable with. Highly recommended!

    Claudia and her team were instrumental in rehabilitating my mom after her stroke. Claudia is a true professional with a wealth of knowledge but she also has a genuine kindness that instantly put my mom at ease. Claudia has a personalized approach, she took the time to understand not just the physical aspects of my mom's condition but also her unique needs and goals. Claudia communicates clearly and prioritized my mom's safety and wellbeing. Her home exercises and practical tips helped to integrate rehabilitation seamlessly into our daily lives.  My family and I are grateful for Claudia's hard work with my mom.

    I have experienced many physiotherapy clinics over the years and found the treatments I received from Get Right physiotherapist Izabela to be top notch.  I especially liked that she came to my home to give them.
