IMMEDIATE PHYSIOTHERAPY

	Is important to enable you to get correct advice on how to give your injury the best chance of recovering quickly with minimal trauma, and decrease any compensatory movements, which lead to dysfunction and re-injury.
	Your injury can be stabilized and supported correctly.
	Pain can be relieved or reduced.
	Inflammation can be reduced which in turn decreases pain and enhances return to function.

GENERAL PHYSIOTHERAPY

	Will maintain and improve the movement available after injury.
	Continue with the reduction of pain, inflammation and instability.
	Will stabilise hypermobile joints.
	Will mobilise joints that are hypomobile (stiff).
	Will strengthen and stretch the appropriate muscles.

FRACTURES

Breaks and fractures will rehabilitate to their fullest function more quickly with early physio. Stabilised in plaster stiffens joints, decreases range of movement , and weakens and shortens soft tissues.

SURGERY

Physiotherapy plays a vital role in rehabilitation, helping people recover from operations.

Pre operative

Pre operative physio treatment can correct any alignment issues, maintain function and flexibility and strengthen muscles. This enhances recovery post op and return to physical function.

Post operative

	Rehabilitation after orthopedic surgery e.g. hip and knee replacements can increase the healing rate and gain full function.
	Scar tissue can restrict movement look unsightly and feel tight and uncomfortable. Physio can decrease the appearance of scars and increase the mobility and reduction in tightness.

REHABILITATION AND RETURN TO FUNCTION
