Frequently Asked Questions

Post-operative physiotherapy is specialised rehabilitation provided after surgery. It includes pain management, personalised exercise, manual therapy, and education to help patients recover mobility, strength, and independence, while minimising complications.
Physiotherapy often begins within 24 hours post-surgery in hospital, unless advised otherwise by your surgeon. Early movement helps prevent stiffness and complications, but exact timing depends on your surgery and individual health.
These exercises range from gentle joint mobility and stretching early on, to progressive strengthening, balance, and functional activities as recovery advances. Your physio will tailor a program to your surgery and goals.
Physiotherapy is essential for restoring function, managing pain, preventing complications (like blood clots or scar tissue), and ensuring the surgical repair heals as intended. Skipping rehabilitation can significantly delay—if not completely stall—recovery.
The three phases of post-op care are: 1. Early Recovery (pain/swelling management, gentle movement), 2. Strength & Range (muscle activation, increasing mobility) & 3. Functional Restoration (return to daily activities, injury prevention).
Without physiotherapy, you risk persistent pain, reduced movement, muscle weakness, joint stiffness, poor wound healing, loss of function, and higher chances of surgical failure or re-injury. Rehab is critical for the best possible outcome.
