✅ How Therapy Can Support Pre & Post-Surgery Recovery
From the team at Kauai Therapy & Wellness
At Kauai Therapy & Wellness, we understand that healing doesn’t stop when the surgery is over—or when you’ve been living with pain for years. Whether you’re recovering from an operation or managing chronic conditions like arthritis, therapy can make all the difference in restoring your quality of life.
🔹 Why Pre-Op Therapy Matters
Most people think therapy only happens after surgery—but starting care before your procedure can help you recover faster and more successfully. Here’s how a pre-operative appointment with Physical or Occupational Therapy can benefit you:
-
Strengthen muscles around the surgical site for better support
-
Improve range of motion so you go into surgery stronger
-
Learn post-op movements (like using crutches, walkers, or adaptive tools) ahead of time
-
Reduce anxiety by knowing what to expect
-
Build a relationship with your therapy team for smoother care after surgery
We call this “prehabilitation”—and it sets you up for success before you ever step into the OR.
🔹 The Power of Post-Surgical Rehabilitation
After surgery, your body needs more than rest—it needs targeted movement and care to heal properly. Physical and Occupational Therapy can help you:
-
Reduce swelling and stiffness
-
Restore range of motion
-
Rebuild strength in weakened muscles
-
Improve mobility and function
-
Prevent scar tissue from limiting your movement
We work alongside your surgeon’s protocol to personalize your care plan and help you return to your daily life—whether that’s hiking, working, or playing with your kids.
🔹 Therapy for Chronic Pain Management
Chronic pain can feel like it takes control of your life. But with the right therapy approach, you can take that control back. Our team uses a variety of hands-on and evidence-based treatments to help you:
-
Decrease pain and inflammation
-
Improve posture and body mechanics
-
Strengthen muscles to support painful joints
-
Learn self-care techniques for flare-ups
-
Address the root cause—not just the symptoms
Whether it’s arthritis, fibromyalgia, or back pain that won’t go away, we tailor each plan to your needs.
