Post-Surgery Recovery: Secrets of Successful Rehabilitation

Modern physical rehabilitation methods accelerate recovery and improve quality of life. Kandinsky Clinic's physiotherapist and massage therapist Sergey Chernyshuk explains how to choose the right approach.

Understanding Physical Rehabilitation

Physical rehabilitation is a process that helps restore lost organ and tissue functions after injury or surgery. It aids in preventing complications while supporting respiratory and cardiac function. Specialists help develop individualized exercise programs tailored to your specific needs and goals. While professional expertise is crucial, patient engagement plays an equally important role in recovery success.

Recovery outcomes significantly improve when patients believe in their abilities and actively participate in their healing journey. The best results are achieved through collaborative efforts between the patient, treating physician, and physical rehabilitation specialist.

Modern Rehabilitation Methods

Traditional approaches advocated immobilizing injured body parts while awaiting surgery or natural symptom relief. Contemporary experts now recommend encouraging patient activity and performing exercises for injured areas both pre and post-surgery.

Among various rehabilitation methods, Sergey Chernyshuk highlights two primary approaches:

Kinesitherapy is a technique allowing exercise without axial load on injured or affected body parts. It utilizes block training equipment to create decompression - removing joint pressure and stretching tense muscles. This makes exercises safer and more effective. Kinesitherapy is recommended for those suffering from chronic pain or recovering from surgery, helping reduce pain, improve mobility, and accelerate return to normal activities.

PNF (Proprioceptive Neuromuscular Facilitation) is an advanced physiotherapy method that helps restore and strengthen brain-muscle connections. This comprehensive approach includes:

• Proprioceptive: utilizing and stimulating proprioceptors - muscle spindle and vestibular receptors
• Neuromuscular: working with muscle diagonals and improving nerve-muscle communication for enhanced motor response
• Facilitation: movement stimulation or assistance, creating opportunities for movement initiation

PNF is particularly effective for individuals recovering from brain and spinal cord injuries, vertebral fractures, and other neurological or orthopedic conditions. It helps restore sensation, coordination, and movement ability.

Foundation of Rehabilitation

Regardless of the chosen rehabilitation method, consistent exercise practice is fundamental. This is the only way to train your body to overcome challenges, manage pain, and regain lost mobility. Regular practice will enhance your quality of life and facilitate return to normal activities.
