Recovering after surgery doesn’t end when you leave the operating room. In fact, a major part of your healing journey begins post-surgery—with structured rehabilitation. One of the most critical components of successful recovery is physiotherapy.
At Morya Multispeciality Hospital in Wadgaon Budruk, Pune, our expert physiotherapy team plays a key role in helping patients regain strength, mobility, and independence after various surgical procedures.
Why Is Post-Surgery Rehabilitation Important?
Surgical procedures—whether orthopedic, neurological, cardiac, or abdominal—often require cutting through muscles, tissues, or joints. Without guided rehabilitation, this can lead to stiffness, weakness, and long-term functional limitations.
Post-surgery physiotherapy ensures: - Faster healing and reduced risk of complications
- Pain management without over-reliance on medication
- Regained range of motion and strength
- Improved quality of life and return to daily activities
Surgeries That Commonly Require Physiotherapy
1. Joint Replacement Surgeries
Procedures like knee or hip replacement require immediate physiotherapy to regain mobility, improve joint function, and prevent stiffness.
2. Spine Surgeries
After procedures for disc herniation, spinal fusion, or laminectomy, physiotherapy helps reduce pain, strengthen core muscles, and promote safe movement.
3. Fracture Fixation
Orthopedic surgeries involving rods, screws, or plates demand rehabilitation to restore limb function and prevent post-immobilization weakness.
4. Ligament Repairs (e.g., ACL Surgery)
Post-operative exercises rebuild strength and stability around the repaired ligament, crucial for returning to sports or physical activity.
5. Cardiac and Thoracic Surgeries
Cardiac rehabilitation includes breathing exercises and gradual physical activity to improve endurance and cardiovascular health.
6. Abdominal or Pelvic Surgeries
Even non-orthopedic surgeries like C-sections, hysterectomies, or hernia repair benefit from physiotherapy to restore core muscle function and posture.
What to Expect During Post-Surgical Physiotherapy
1. Pain and Swelling Management
Techniques like ice therapy, ultrasound, and electrical stimulation help reduce inflammation and discomfort.
2. Gentle Range of Motion Exercises
These prevent joint stiffness and keep muscles engaged early in the recovery.
3. Strengthening Exercises
Progressive resistance training helps rebuild lost muscle strength and endurance.
4. Gait Training
For patients relearning to walk after lower limb surgeries, supervised walking and balance exercises are essential.
5. Functional Rehabilitation
Physiotherapy gradually reintroduces activities like sitting, standing, stair climbing, or lifting to restore independence.
