Preventing Reinjury: Developing Body Awareness During Recovery
One of the problems many recovering patients face is the risk of re-injury. Once you wake up from that surgery and need to change into regular clothes, you’ll find that getting dressed with limited mobility isn’t as easy and can be uncomfortable or painful. Take moments during your therapy sessions and rest periods to observe what your body is telling you. Are you experiencing tension or relaxation? Are you breathing properly or holding your breath? Do you feel any discomfort or pain? How is your posture?
Rehabilitation Therapies

Take charge of your body and be proactive to ensure thorough rehabilitation. It is in your best interest to be an informed patient. Medical research has proven techniques such as music, meditation, and visualization can aid in reducing pain and complications from surgery. Alternative therapies have been used for years but only in recent times has data been analyzed for postoperative benefits.
