Undergoing surgery is only the first step toward healing—post-surgery physiotherapy is what truly helps patients regain strength, mobility, and confidence. Whether it’s a joint replacement, spine surgery, fracture fixation, or soft tissue repair, physiotherapy plays a crucial role in ensuring proper recovery and preventing long-term complications.
Why Post-Surgery Physiotherapy Is Important
1. Restores Mobility & Movement
Surgery often leads to stiffness and reduced range of motion. Physiotherapy helps restore normal movement safely and gradually.
2. Strengthens Muscles
Muscles around the operated area can weaken due to immobility. Strengthening exercises rebuild support and stability.
3. Reduces Pain & Swelling
Therapists use manual therapy, ice/heat therapy, electrotherapy (IFT, TENS, Ultrasound), and guided exercises to ease pain and inflammation.
4. Prevents Complications
Lack of movement may lead to blood clots, joint stiffness, or muscle tightness. Early physiotherapy helps prevent these issues.
5. Speeds Up Recovery
The right rehabilitation plan ensures patients return to daily activities faster and safely.
