Post-Operative Physiotherapy
The success of orthopaedic surgery doesn’t end in the operating theatre—it heavily depends on the quality of post-operative rehabilitation. Without structured physiotherapy, patients may continue to experience complications such as joint stiffness, persistent pain, swelling, and reduced confidence in using the affected limb. At LPT Healthcare, our experienced physiotherapists work closely with you during this crucial recovery phase to ensure optimal outcomes.
In the initial stages following surgery, our therapists focus on reducing inflammation and swelling, restoring joint mobility, and activating key muscle groups to promote early strength recovery. As your condition improves, we gradually progress your programme to include more advanced exercises aimed at improving balance, coordination, flexibility, and endurance.
You’ll also receive clear guidance on when and how to safely resume daily tasks, return to work, or participate in physical and recreational activities. Whether your goal is to walk without discomfort, return to a sport, or simply regain independence, we provide a tailored exercise plan to support your individual needs and surgical outcomes.
Common procedures we support with post-operative physiotherapy include total knee or hip replacements, ACL reconstructions, rotator cuff repairs, spinal surgeries, and fracture fixations. Every step of your rehabilitation is closely monitored and adjusted as needed to ensure steady and safe progress back to your pre-operative function.
