Physiotherapy, rehabilitation, and corrective exercises are an essential part of pre-and post-surgery treatment. Planning physiotherapy before and after surgery will be effective to improve and restore the patient's normal condition.

Physiotherapy before and after surgery also helps to shorten the patient's recovery time after surgery and also reduces the secondary consequences of surgery.

Surgeries are divided into two groups: elective surgeries and emergency surgeries.

Emergency surgery is a condition in which a patient has an accident or needs immediate surgery because of his or her illness. For example, in fractures or subluxations, surgery may be necessary for treatment. In elective surgeries, the patient needs surgery but will not have emergency surgery, such as ACL Reconstruction Surgery.

But why is it important to do physiotherapy before elective surgery?

Many studies have been conducted in this field, the results showed a 30% reduction in postoperative care in patients. In fact, preoperative physiotherapy can reduce the number of postoperative rehabilitation measures by up to 30%, which can include many things, including reducing treatment costs & time, reducing the length of hospital stay. Postoperative and reduction of postoperative complications such as pain, swelling, and inflammation.

From Arthroplasty to heart surgery, low-intensity exercise under the guidance of a physiotherapist can improve blood circulation, which is speeds up the body's recovery time.

Preoperative physiotherapy can also strengthen the core muscles of the body to reduce atrophy and muscle weakness after surgery. Atrophy and muscle weakness after surgery usually delays the patient's time to return home from the hospital, which can be greatly reduced by preoperative physiotherapy.

It is also possible to improve the patient's balance with pre-surgery physiotherapy and reduce the likelihood of the patient falling after surgery.

It should be noted that in many cases, preoperative physiotherapy can generally prevent surgery.
