Surgery And Physiotherapy

Before Surgery: Your surgeon might suggest physiotherapy to maximise strength and flexibility before your operation in order to speed up your recovery after surgery and give a better long-term outcome.

After Surgery: Your surgeon will have a post-operative program for the physiotherapist to follow to ensure correct stresses and strains are applied at a safe time for surgically repaired tissues. Post-op physiotherapy encourages range of motion, strength, balance and a safe timely return to your normal lifestyle. Physiotherapy may be recommended after a fracture, spinal surgery, joint replacement, joint arthroscopy or ligament/tendon repair.
