Following surgery and discharge from hospital, the recovery period does not end there. Often further rehabilitation is required to return to normal function. Physiotherapy can help with the healing and recovery process to get you back to living a full life.

Physiotherapy for different types of surgery:

Joint surgeries

• Restoring and maintaining joint ranges to appropriate levels

• Facilitating healing through safe loading

• Repair to any soft tissue structures that could be damaged during the surgery

Bone injuries

• Re-introducing and gradually loading bones

• Promoting bone healing and growth

• Repair to any soft tissue structures that could be damaged during the surgery

Muscle injuries

• Strengthening of the muscle

• Lengthening of the muscle

Ligament injuries

• Strengthening ligaments

• Ensuring that the ligament is functioning correctly to provide support over the relevant joint

If the appropriate management is not taken following a surgical procedure, further complications may arise. Particularly if advised by your surgeon to receive outpatient physiotherapy treatment, please ensure you take the required steps in the initial recovery phase to prevent otherwise avoidable risks and complications. Our physiotherapists at MyCare Physiotherapy will effectively guide and manage your body post surgery.
