Post-Surgery Physiotherapy: Why It’s Essential After Orthopedic Procedures

Many patients assume that surgery alone resolves the problem—but physiotherapy is what truly restores function. Whether it’s a knee replacement, spinal surgery, or fracture fixation, rehab plays a vital role in healing.

NotesNote: Each surgery has its own protocol. Following the timeline set by your surgeon and physiotherapist is crucial.

🩺 Common Post-Surgical Cases We Treat:

  • Total Knee or Hip Replacement (TKR/THR)

  • ACL Reconstruction

  • Shoulder Arthroscopy

  • Spinal decompression or fusion

  • ORIF (Open Reduction Internal Fixation)

📋 Recovery Goals:

  • Pain & swelling control

  • Joint mobility and flexibility

  • Muscle strength restoration

  • Regain balance and coordination

  • Return to daily activities & sports


Warning Overexertion or skipping exercises can lead to joint stiffness or delayed healing. Stick to the plan and report any unusual symptoms immediately.
