Ask Questions

Frequently Asked
Questions

Why do I need physiotherapy after surgery?

Post-surgical rehabilitation helps you heal properly, regain movement, reduce pain, and prevent long-term complications such as stiffness or weakness.

What happens during my first post-operative physiotherapy session?

We review your surgical history, assess your movement, pain levels, and mobility, then design a personalised rehabilitation plan based on your recovery stage.

How long after surgery can I start rehabilitation?

Your start time depends on the type of surgery. For some procedures, gentle exercises begin within 24–72 hours; for others, physiotherapy begins after your follow-up with the surgeon. We follow your medical team’s guidance.

Can physiotherapy help reduce post-surgery swelling?

Yes. Specific manual therapy, safe exercises, and circulation techniques help reduce swelling and improve healing.
