How We Work

OPTIMIUM POST-OPERATIVE RECOVERY BLUEPRINT

Physical Edge focusses on the field of Post-Operative Rehabilitation. Operations can be very complex and having a Specialist Rehabilitative Team to help makes a significant difference to recovery. The Physical Edge team are driven to get the best results possible from your operation. Over time we have learnt that the best results are achieved when our clients take an active role in their rehabilitation. This is because the body requires repetitive stimulation to change, and hence movement strategies at home become the cornerstone of treatment.

To help clarify your pathway through rehabilitation, Physical Edge created the Optimum Post-Operative Recovery Blueprint (OPRB), which was designed to optimise results following an operation. The steps involved in OPRB are outlined on the following slides

step 1 - clarify what the client needs

We focus on helping you get the results you want from rehabilitation. It is our priority to set goals which have real meaning and achievability for you.

Step 2 - Assessment

The assessment looks at your entire body. What compensations are happening because of your operation, and which areas of your body have become stiff. Our aim is to optimise your movement, and prevent your operation from having a negative impact on you in the future.

Step 3 - Set Realistic Timeframes

Most clients at Physical Edge want to get on with their lives, as soon as possible after their operation.

To manage your expectations and reduce the frustration associated with recovery, we work together to outline realistic recovery timeframes with you. This empowers you to make the immediate changes you need in your life, to maximise your recovery process.

Step 4 - Get The Team Together

Most clients at Physical Edge want to get on with their lives, as soon as possible after their operation.

To manage your expectations and reduce the frustration associated with recovery, we work together to outline realistic recovery timeframes with you. This empowers you to make the immediate changes you need in your life, to maximise your recovery process.

Step 5 - Manage The Team

A senior Physical Edge clinician will be your primary care provider, working with you, guiding you through recovery, and taking responsibility for your results. This means you will always have someone who is making sure the team are together and focussed on you, and you can contact them at anytime for help.

Step 6 - Treatment

Treatment may involve working with several specialists to have the greatest impact on your post-operative recovery. This will involve work on the site of the operation, and other areas of the body, to improve movement, ease pain and control compensations.

Step 7 - Maintenance

We enjoy working with people and seeing them perform in life. Once you have recovered from your operation we stay in close contact with you, to manage the small issues that can crop up when returning to normal activities of daily life or taking on new challenges.

As we age, start new careers or play sport our bodies also age and change. At Physical Edge, although we specialise in cure, we believe prevention is preferable. To that end, we like to prevent injuries or operations from worsening or reoccurring and so recommend our annual or biannual Physical Edge Body assessments. These assessments provide feedback on what is required to keep you mobile and performing in life, which we will communicate to Personal Trainers, Pilates & Yoga instructors, or any other therapists you use to stay healthy. Our collaboration with your health providers will give them vital information about your injury, so that more tailored workouts will deliver greater benefit to you the client.

Knee Post-Op

In daily life, our knees are subjected to constant biomechanical (movement) loading and impact forces – even more so when we participate in sport and other physical activities. Such is the strain that we put on our knees, that research indicates that in our life time, at least 25% of us will have pain in a knee joint.

Spine Post-Op

Spinal pain is the most common injury seen in clinical practice and the leading cause of work related absence. Research shows that in 2013 over 15 million sick days in the UK were attributed to spinal pain and 3.4 million people (15% of the population) were forced to take more than a month off work due to back related symptoms.

Shoulder Post-Op

The shoulder girdle is made up of several articulating joints, which are connected and influence each other’s motion. These joints work in synchrony to allow the many complex movements the shoulder can perform – not surprisingly the shoulder is the most mobile joint in the body.

Hip Post-Op

The hip joint is often forgotten in the assessment of spinal and knee pain. However, it is a very important joint for fluid motion of the body and major hip injuries can lead to total hip joint replacement later in life. Today total hip joint replacements have excellent results, and can facilitate a return to sport and other activities.
