+    content: `
+    <p>Undergoing surgery can be a significant event, and while the procedure itself addresses the immediate problem, the journey to full recovery often continues long after you leave the operating room. Post-surgery rehabilitation exercises are a critical component of this journey, helping you regain strength, mobility, and function. At Rapha Rehab, we understand the importance of a tailored and safe approach to rehabilitation.</p>
+
+    <p>Whether you've had an orthopedic procedure, a general surgery, or anything in between, a well-structured exercise program guided by experienced physiotherapists is key to a successful outcome.</p>
+
+    <h3>Why Are Post-Surgery Exercises So Important?</h3>
+    <p>Many people are eager to get back to their normal activities, but rushing the recovery process or neglecting exercises can lead to setbacks. Here's why rehabilitation exercises are non-negotiable:</p>
+
+    <ul class="list-style-one clearfix mb_40">
+      <li><strong>Restoring Range of Motion:</strong> Surgery can cause stiffness and limit the movement of joints. Specific exercises help gently and progressively restore your natural range of motion.</li>
+      <li><strong>Building Strength:</strong> Muscles often weaken significantly due to inactivity, pain, or the surgery itself. Targeted strengthening exercises are vital to rebuild muscle mass and support the surgical site.</li>
+      <li><strong>Reducing Swelling and Pain:</strong> Gentle movement and elevation can help reduce post-operative swelling, which in turn can decrease pain.</li>
+      <li><strong>Improving Circulation:</strong> Exercise promotes blood flow, which is essential for healing and delivering vital nutrients to the affected area.</li>
+      <li><strong>Preventing Complications:</strong> Regular, guided movement can help prevent complications such as deep vein thrombosis (DVT), muscle atrophy, and scar tissue adhesions.</li>
+      <li><strong>Restoring Function and Independence:</strong> Ultimately, the goal is to get you back to doing the things you love, whether that's walking, gardening, playing sports, or simply performing daily tasks without discomfort.</li>
+    </ul>
+
+    <h3>General Principles of Post-Surgery Rehabilitation</h3>
+    <p>While every rehabilitation plan is unique, some general principles apply:</p>
+
+    <ul class="list-style-one clearfix mb_40">
+      <li><strong>Follow Your Surgeon's and Physiotherapist's Instructions:</strong> This is paramount. They know the specifics of your surgery and your individual recovery timeline.</li>
+      <li><strong>Start Slowly and Progress Gradually:</strong> Don't push too hard, too soon. Listen to your body and increase intensity, duration, or resistance only as advised.</li>
+      <li><strong>Focus on Proper Form:</strong> Incorrect form can be ineffective or even harmful. Your physiotherapist will ensure you're performing exercises correctly.</li>
+      <li><strong>Consistency is Key:</strong> Regular, consistent effort yields the best results.</li>
+      <li><strong>Manage Pain:</strong> It's normal to experience some discomfort, but exercises should not cause sharp or increasing pain. Communicate any pain to your therapist.</li>
+    </ul>
+
+    <h3>Common Types of Post-Surgery Exercises (Examples)</h3>
+    <p>While specific exercises will depend on your surgery, here are some common categories:</p>
+
+    <ul class="list-style-one clearfix mb_40">
+      <li><strong>Gentle Range of Motion Exercises:</strong> These often involve passive or active-assisted movements to gently move a joint through its available range without putting stress on healing tissues.</li>
+      <li><strong>Isometric Exercises:</strong> Contracting a muscle without moving the joint. This is excellent for early strengthening when movement might be restricted or painful.</li>
+      <li><strong>Light Strengthening Exercises:</strong> Using bodyweight, resistance bands, or light weights to gradually rebuild muscle strength.</li>
+      <li><strong>Balance and Proprioception Exercises:</strong> Particularly important after lower limb or spine surgery, these exercises help improve your body's awareness in space and prevent falls.</li>
+      <li><strong>Functional Exercises:</strong> Mimicking daily activities to help you transition back to everyday life.</li>
+    </ul>
+
+    <p><strong>Important Note:</strong> Do NOT attempt any of these exercises without direct guidance from your surgeon or a qualified physiotherapist. This article provides general information only.</p>

+    content: `
+    <p>When an athlete experiences a sports injury, the focus is often on immediate relief and a quick return to the game. While rest, ice, and elevation are crucial first steps, a comprehensive recovery plan goes much further. Massage therapy, often viewed as a luxury, is a powerful and proven tool in the rehabilitation of sports injuries, playing a vital role in both healing and prevention.</p>
+
+    <p>At Rapha Rehab, we believe in a holistic approach to sports injury recovery, and our registered massage therapists work alongside our physiotherapists to help athletes get back to peak performance. Here’s a look at the key benefits of incorporating massage therapy into your rehabilitation plan.</p>
+
+    <h3>1. Accelerates Healing and Reduces Swelling</h3>
+    <p>One of the primary benefits of massage is its ability to increase blood flow to the injured area. This improved circulation delivers essential oxygen and nutrients to damaged tissues, which accelerates the healing process and helps flush out inflammatory by-products. This can significantly reduce swelling and bruising, making the area less painful and more receptive to other rehabilitation efforts.</p>
+
+    <h3>2. Reduces Pain and Muscle Soreness</h3>
+    <p>An injury often causes protective muscle spasms around the affected area, leading to pain and tightness. Massage therapy helps to relax these hypertonic muscles, alleviating the tension and pressure that contribute to discomfort. By working through knots and trigger points, a skilled therapist can directly address the source of pain, providing both immediate relief and long-term improvement. This is particularly effective for conditions like muscle strains and tendinitis.</p>
+
+    <h3>3. Restores Range of Motion and Flexibility</h3>
+    <p>After an injury, scar tissue can form around the site, causing stiffness and a limited range of motion. Massage techniques like deep tissue and myofascial release are specifically designed to break down and realign these fibers, preventing adhesions and restoring joint flexibility. This is a critical step in ensuring the athlete can move freely and perform their sport without restriction.</p>
+
+    <h3>4. Breaks Down Scar Tissue</h3>
+    <p>As mentioned above, scar tissue is a natural part of the healing process but can be a major hurdle to full recovery. It's often less pliable than regular muscle tissue, leading to stiffness and a higher risk of re-injury. Focused massage techniques can help to soften and remodel this tissue, making it more flexible and resilient.</p>
+
+    <h3>5. Prevents Future Injuries</h3>
+    <p>Beyond rehabilitation, regular sports massage is an excellent preventative measure. By keeping muscles relaxed, reducing tension, and improving flexibility, it helps to prevent overuse injuries, muscle imbalances, and strains that can sideline an athlete. Many professional athletes incorporate pre- and post-event massage into their training routines for this very reason.</p>

+    content: `
+    <p>For patients struggling with stubborn injuries that don’t respond to traditional therapy, shockwave treatment is becoming a popular option. But does it really work?</p>
+
+    <h3>What Is Shockwave Therapy?</h3>
+    <p>Shockwave therapy is a non-invasive treatment that uses high-energy sound waves to stimulate healing in injured tissues. It’s especially effective for conditions caused by overuse and chronic strain.</p>
+
+    <h3>Conditions It Treats</h3>
+    <ul class="list-style-one clearfix mb_40">
+      <li><strong>Plantar Fasciitis:</strong> Heel pain from inflamed foot tissue.</li>
+      <li><strong>Tennis Elbow & Shoulder Pain:</strong> Repetitive strain injuries.</li>
+      <li><strong>Chronic Tendon Injuries:</strong> Such as Achilles tendinopathy.</li>
+    </ul>
+
+    <h3>How the Treatment Works</h3>
+    <p>The sound waves increase blood flow and break down scar tissue, allowing the body to heal naturally. Many patients report pain reduction after just a few sessions.</p>
+
+    <h3>What to Expect During a Session</h3>
+    <p>Sessions are short — usually 10–15 minutes — and most patients need 3–6 treatments. You may feel mild discomfort during the procedure, but no downtime is required.</p>
