Why Physical Therapy after Surgery?
By Josh Lindblom, DPT, Director of Physical Therapy
If you've undergone surgery, chances are you're experiencing pain, swelling, a loss of motion and bruising following the procedure. Getting moving after your surgery
is one of the most important things you can do in helping
you to return to your previous activity level. While your
physical therapy is probably going to be tailored to your
specific type of surgery recovery, the benefits are often
similar for all types.
Moving immediately after your surgery can help improve
your blood circulation. Since your circulatory system is
responsible for delivering fuel throughout your body,
this can help decrease swelling following an operation by
removing the fluid that builds up in your body. You will
heal faster if you get the blood flowing to the surgery
area.
The exercises provided in physical therapy will help you
increase your strength faster than if you simply remained
in bed to recover. It does not take much time in bed to
lose a significant amount of strength. Strength is important because weakness in an area of your body can result
in instability and an increased likelihood of re-injury. These
exercises can also help improve your overall health.
After surgery, there is a good chance that you will suffer from swelling and a limited range of motion. You may
also experience severe pain and a decreased ability to use
the part of your body that suffered the injury requiring
surgery. Exercises help you to have an increased range of
motion in the part of your body that is recovering from
surgery and improved healing time while increasing your
ability to function. Exercises that restore movement to the
joint can also help prevent re-injury.
Suffering an injury that requires surgery can be a stressful
event in your life, and recovering from the surgery itself
can result in worry about your future. The exercises in
physical therapy can have a benefit that goes far beyond
simply restoring you to your previous activity level.
If you have recently undergone surgery or have a planned
surgery, we would love to help. Direct Access to physical
therapy allows you to seek evaluation and treatment from
a licensed physical therapist without referral from your
physician for up to 30 days. Contact Elder Care Physical
Therapy directly at 918-766-0391 to schedule an appointment today!
Mary Whisman performs specific strengthening exercises following a total knee replacement. Patients can also take advantage
of Elder Care's Aftercare program that allows them to exercise
on their own after completing skilled physical therapy.

“It is so exciting to
be a part of such an
incredible event,”
remarked Event Chair
Virginia Sawyer. “The
support of the community is outstanding
and we cannot thank
our donors, sponsors
and guests enough for
their generosity. And of
course the Mullendore
family whose hospitality has been the hallmark of the barbeque
throughout the years.
It’s amazing to think
that to date this event
has risen close to two
million dollars for Elder

Enriching Experience at DayBreak
Free Seminar on Parkinson's Disease
By Alan Phillips, Director of DayBreak.
DayBreak Adult Day Health at Elder Care is an opportunity
for adults to participate in activities while socializing with
others during the day in a fun, nurturing environment.
DayBreak offers participants who would like to get out of
their homes for the day a chance to have fun with friends
while enjoying activities, food and fellowship. DayBreak
also offers older adults who may need supervision during
the day an opportunity to enjoy activities and socialization,
while at the same time allowing their caregivers to rest or
to take care of their own needs.
Elder Care will host a free seminar called
While at DayBreak, participants interact with peers in
their community. It's very different from living in a nursing
home facility due to the fact that participants go home at
the end of a day. Adult Day Health incorporates stimulating activities and companionship to brighten one's life.
Participants share meals, play games, and sometimes
Participants Bill Brewer and Chris Trader learn painting techenjoy outings with others in the group.
Patients and caregivers will learn about primary and secondary symptoms of the disease as well as treatments
available. Lajara-Nanson will also go over four key ways
to improve the quality of life while living with Parkinson’s
disease.
This year, DayBreak is focusing on an enrichment program
by bringing in outside instructors for exciting new opportunities. In April, participants enjoyed an art class taught
by local artist Valerie Jones. The art students were given a
blank canvas and were instructed step by step how to create a beautiful masterpiece.
On May 18, participants will enjoy the sounds from musician Ronald Radford who will perform with his flamenco
guitar in a free concert which is also open to the public at
Elder Care at 10:00 a.m.
Other upcoming activities for DayBreak include a visit from
Tulsa Zoo employees who will be bringing the animals of
the rainforest for participants to see and touch and learn
about the animals’ interesting habitat. In addition, later
this summer there will be a class taught by Robert Lewis
of the Cherokee Nation where participants will learn how
to make a pottery pinch pot.
DayBreak participants enjoy these special events plus the
daily activities of art, crafts, gardening, games, bingo, storytelling, music, fitness and more!
If you or a loved one is looking for a safe, caring, and fun
environment to attend during the day, call to learn more
about DayBreak, 918-336-8500.
Parkinson’s Disease 101 Class on May 19 at 6:00 p.m. at Elder Care, located at 1223 Swan Drive. The seminar is presented by the
Parkinson Foundation of Oklahoma and Elder Care.
Dr. Walter Lajara-Nanson, Neurologist/Neuropsychiatrist,
will provide information on Parkinson’s disease during this
90 minute course designed to inform and inspire. In addition to the presentation, there will be a Q&A session with
Lajara-Nanson and panelist Christina Bishop, clinical director of the Center for Aging and NeuroHealth.
