Why Physiotherapy is Crucial After Surgery

Physiotherapy plays a vital role in the recovery process following surgery, helping patients to regain mobility, reduce pain and restore function. Often these surgeries will leave the body weakened, with limited range of motion, stiffness and pain. Without proper rehabilitation, these challenges can lead to prolonged recovery times, long-term mobility issues, or even chronic pain. Physiotherapy can help to rebuild strength safely and effectively, whilst preventing further complications like scar tissue adhesions or further injury.

Common surgeries include;

  • Joint replacement surgeries

  • Arthroscopies (key hole surgery)

  • Ligament and tendon repairs

  • Spinal surgery

  • Carpal tunnel syndrome surgery
