  1. Post Surgical Rehab | Rebuild Physiotherapy About Rebuild: At Rebuild Physiotherapy, we pride ourselves on a collective and comprehensive approach to healing, health, and well-being. Our team consists of highly qualified professionals who have undergone rigorous training to deliver top-tier care to our clients. Post-surgical rehabilitation (rehab) is a crucial part of the recovery process after surgery. The goal is to help the patient regain strength, mobility, and function, reduce pain, and prevent complications. The specifics of post-surgical rehab can vary depending on the type of surgery, the patient's health, and their activity level before the procedure.

  2. There are a number of surgeries to stabilize the shoulder and repair tendons and ligaments of the shoulder. Common surgeries include rotator cuff tear repairs and shoulder stabilization surgery (Latarjet procedure) to stabilize frequently dislocating shoulders. Often these procedures are performed arthroscopically leaving only small scars. After surgery the shoulder can be sore, stiff, and inflamed. Your physiotherapist will work with you to help manage your pain and inflammation with gentle hands on treatment. Your physiotherapist will work with your surgeon and follow their rehabilitation protocol to help you recover. Simple activities such as

  3. dressing, bathing, and sleeping could be difficult after surgery and your physiotherapist can help guide you on how to adapt and perform these tasks.Physiotherapy will initially focus on improving your shoulder flexibility and strength and as you progress your physiotherapist will customize your treatment to help you reach your individualized goals. There are a variety of surgical options designed to stabilize the shoulder and repair damaged tendons, ligaments, and other structures. Shoulder instability, rotator cuff injuries, and frequent dislocations are common issues that may require surgical intervention to restore function and prevent further damage. Some of the most common procedures include rotator cuff tear repairs and shoulder stabilization surgeries, such as the Latarjet procedure. •Rotator Cuff Tear Repairs: The rotator cuff is a group of tendons and muscles that help stabilize the shoulder and allow it to move smoothly. When these tendons are torn, often due to trauma or wear-and-tear over time, surgery may be necessary to reattach the torn tendons to the bone. This procedure helps restore the shoulder's strength and function. •Shoulder Stabilization Surgeries (e.g., Latarjet Procedure): For individuals with recurrent shoulder dislocations, surgery may be needed to stabilize the joint and prevent future dislocations. The

  4. Latarjet procedure is a common approach used in cases of severe shoulder instability, particularly when there has been damage to the bone or the labrum (cartilage). In this procedure, a small portion of bone is transferred to the shoulder to help provide additional stability. These surgeries are typically performed arthroscopically, which means the surgeon uses a small camera and specialized instruments inserted through tiny incisions rather than a large open cut. This minimally invasive technique not only reduces the risk of complications but also results in smaller scars, less pain, and a quicker recovery time compared to traditional open surgery. However, even though these procedures are minimally invasive, the shoulder may still experience soreness, stiffness, and inflammation in the initial weeks following surgery. It's important to allow the body time to heal and to follow a structured rehabilitation plan.

  5. Your physiotherapist plays a key role in this recovery process. They will work with you to help manage post-surgical pain, reduce inflammation, and address muscle stiffness. Using gentle, hands-on techniques such as manual therapy (e.g., massage, joint mobilizations, and stretching), your physiotherapist will help improve your range of motion, promote healing, and decrease discomfort. As you progress through recovery, they will also guide you through strengthening exercises to rebuild the muscles around the shoulder, improve function, and ultimately get you back to your daily activities with a restored, stable shoulder.
