Post-surgical rehabilitation is a type of physiotherapy that is designed to help patients recover from orthopedic surgery. The goal of post-surgical rehabilitation is to help patients regain strength, flexibility, range of motion, and function, in order to return to their daily activities, work and sports.

For example, after a knee replacement surgery, the program will focus on regaining range of motion, strength and stability of the knee joint and its surrounding muscles. After a spinal surgery, the program will focus on pain management, core stability, and overall mobility.

The duration of post-surgical rehabilitation will vary depending on the type of surgery, the patient’s overall physical condition, and how well they are able to progress through the program. Roderiques Physiotherapy will work closely with the patient and the surgeon to develop a customized rehabilitation program that is tailored to the patient’s specific needs and goals.
