The period following surgery can often be distressing for individuals. We understand these challenges and work closely with patients to reduce the risk of complications while improving mobility, function, muscle strength, balance, stability, flexibility, and stamina. Home Physiotherapy plays a crucial role in post-operative recovery after all types of surgeries, including orthopaedic, neurological, thoracic, and abdominal procedures.
Physiotherapy for Post-Surgical Recovery
Orthopaedic Surgeries
Physiotherapy is essential after orthopaedic procedures such as knee, hip, and shoulder joint replacements, as well as surgical fixation of fractures, including the use of external fixators.
Neurological Surgeries
Rehabilitation is important following surgeries involving the nervous system, including the brain, spinal cord, and peripheral nerves. Examples include spinal decompression surgeries and the removal of adenomas or tumours.
Thoracic Surgeries
Physiotherapy supports recovery after surgical procedures involving the heart and lungs, such as Coronary Artery Bypass Grafting (CABG) and valve replacement surgeries.
Abdominal Surgeries
Abdominal surgeries involving organs such as the stomach, spleen, or intestines may be performed laparoscopically or through open laparotomy. Physiotherapy helps improve breathing, mobility, posture, and overall recovery after these procedures.
What post-operative complications can be assisted by Physiotherapists?
How Can We Support Your Recovery?
Our team specialises in pre- and post-operative rehabilitation, including joint replacements, spinal surgeries, multiple fractures, and recovery following road traffic accidents. We provide a dedicated team of expert home physiotherapists, occupational therapists, and rehabilitation assistants to support you in returning to optimal function.
We focus on improving flexibility and strength, balance retraining, mobility practice and progression, enhancing joint range of motion, reducing pain, and accelerating recovery. Following a comprehensive assessment, your physiotherapist will design a personalised rehabilitation programme tailored to your individual needs, with the goal of achieving full recovery.
Treatment will include hands-on therapy techniques to address pain, stiffness, and soft tissue restrictions. This is followed by targeted exercises to improve joint range of motion, and a structured progression of functional strengthening and mobility work. his may be complemented by evidence-based techniques such as therapeutic massage and soft tissue mobilisation to help soften scar tissue, prevent adhesions, improve circulation, and support optimal healing and functional recovery.
Personalised exercise plan to improve strength and range of motion
When should Home Physiotherapy start after surgery?
Pre-operative Physiotherapy prepares and conditions the musculature which significantly
improves the outcomes post-surgery. After the surgical procedure, Physiotherapy should
start as soon as possible to prevent complications and achieve best clinical outcome.
