Surgery, whether for joint replacement, spinal issues, or ligament repair, is only the first step toward recovery. Post-surgical physiotherapy is crucial for regaining strength, mobility, and independence.

Why Physiotherapy After Surgery?

• Prevents Complications: Reduces risk of blood clots, stiffness, and muscle atrophy.
• Improves Range of Motion: Gentle exercises restore joint function.
• Enhances Healing: Promotes circulation and tissue repair.
• Builds Confidence: Helps patients regain independence in daily activities.
  

Common Surgeries Requiring Physio

• Knee/hip replacements
• Spinal surgeries
• Rotator cuff repairs
• ACL reconstructions
  

What to Expect in Post-Surgical Physio

• Early Mobilization: Gentle movements to prevent stiffness.
• Strengthening Exercises: Gradual progression based on healing.
• Pain Management: Modalities like electrotherapy or manual techniques.
• Functional Training: Prepares patients for daily tasks.
  

Conclusion

A structured physiotherapy program can make the difference between a slow, painful recovery and a smooth, successful one. If you’re undergoing surgery, plan your rehab in advance for the best results.
