Post-Operative Physiotherapy for Recovery After Surgery
Personalised physiotherapy before and after surgery to help restore movement, strength and function. ReLiva provides post-operative rehabilitation for joint replacement, orthopaedic, spine and other surgeries, with clinic, home-visit and online physiotherapy options.
What Is Post-Operative Physiotherapy?
Post-operative physiotherapy is a structured rehabilitation programme that helps you recover movement, strength and function after surgery. Depending on the type of surgery and your stage of recovery, physiotherapy may focus on managing pain and swelling, restoring range of motion, rebuilding strength, improving mobility and gradually returning to everyday activities.
A physiotherapist assesses your movement, strength, mobility and functional limitations and develops a rehabilitation plan based on your surgery, medical advice and recovery goals. Treatment may include therapeutic exercises, mobility and strengthening exercises, gait training, functional training, manual therapy where appropriate, and education on safe movement and activity progression.
When Can Post-Operative Physiotherapy Help?
Post-operative physiotherapy can help after surgeries that affect movement, strength or physical function. Rehabilitation may begin soon after surgery, depending on the procedure and your surgeon’s advice, and progress through different stages as healing allows.
Physiotherapy may also be recommended before planned surgery. Pre-operative physiotherapy, or “prehabilitation”, can help improve strength, mobility and physical readiness before surgery, which can support your rehabilitation afterwards. After surgery, physiotherapy focuses on restoring movement and strength, improving mobility and function, and gradually returning to everyday activities, work or exercise.
Sudden calf swelling or pain, redness or fever around the surgical site, wound discharge, or sudden chest pain or breathlessness after surgery can signal a serious complication. Contact your surgeon or seek emergency care immediately, rather than waiting for a physiotherapy session.
