Can Physiotherapy really prevent or help to avoid a surgery?
This can be best understood by considering health issues, where both Physiotherapy and surgery have their respective roles to play.
When surgery is done as an urgent intervention, Physiotherapy is indicated after the same, to achieve the ultimate goals of relief in pain and regaining physical functions.
When a surgery is indicated, but is of non urgent nature or is a planned one, Physiotherapy is indicated before as well as after the same.
1. If the needful therapeutic goals are achieved safely and satisfactorily before the surgery, within a specified or well estimated watch period, then surgery may be delayed, till the longest possible time.
2. For patients who undergo such a Physio program, before a planned, but ultimately an unavoidable surgery, the outcomes after the same is poised to be better.
So, Physiotherapy and surgery never compete with each other. They both have mutually complementing scientific purposes.
