Orthopaedic Rehabilitation focuses on conditions affecting the musculoskeletal system - muscles, bones, ligaments and tendons. Our biokineticists, manage and treat injuries of the musculoskeletal system and rehabilitate patients following injury or orthopeadic surgery.
The patient will undergo an initial assessment which includes:
Our biokineticists are highly skilled in the science of human movement and joint biomechanics. Orthopaedic rehabilitation is administered through one-on-one care between the biokineticist and patient providing patient specific rehabilitation requirements.
Orthopaedic rehabilitation is essential to restore the patient's activity, strength, mobility and stability following injury or surgery. Orthopaedic patients typically have joint/tendon/ligament deficiencies and muscle weaknesses which are treated and thus can eliminated or alleviated through the administration of specific targeted exercise rehabilitation sessions.
Our biokineticists will demonstrate and teach the patient appropriate exercises designed to restore and enhance function and minimize the problem. We are educated on surgical and medical procedures performed by doctors and orthopaedic surgeons and therefore we are able to adapt and adjust our treatment plan to meet each individual patients’ requirements.
• Stretching exercises (static and dynamic)
• Strengthening exercises (body weight exercises and with the use of equipment)
• Balance/proprioception
• Passive stretching and joint mobility
• Modalites to decrease swelling and increase circulation
• Hydrotheraphy when necessary
Rehabilitation programmes are guided by post-surgical rehabilitation protocols focusing on individualized treatment interventions with the goal of returning the patient to optimal strength, function and mobility.
The programmes involve a variety of treatment options with goals set for the patient. These goals are established by the biokineticist and the patient after a thorough evaluation.
Our highly skilled staff have been trained and educated to work with a variety of post-operative procedures:
• Total Joint Replacements
• Ligament and Tendon Repairs
• Bone Fractures
• Nerve Compression Release
