Post-Surgical Rehabilitation in Indirapuram

Post-surgical rehabilitation is the physiotherapy that follows an operation, restoring movement, strength and function in stages that respect the healing tissue and your surgeon's protocol.

Anyone after orthopaedic surgery such as joint replacement, ligament reconstruction, fracture fixation or spine surgery, and people after major abdominal, cardiac or neurological surgery who are deconditioned.

It commonly helps with total knee replacement, total hip replacement, ACL tear, spinal fusion, discectomy and laminectomy. Fracture fixation and rotator cuff repair are also common.

Faster return to walking and daily tasks, fewer complications such as stiffness and blood clots, and better final strength and range.

Each phase has a goal: protect and move early, restore range, rebuild strength and function, then return to full activity. Progress depends on meeting criteria, not only on time.

We review your operation notes and surgeon's instructions, check the wound area, swelling, range, strength and walking, and set phase-by-phase goals.

After a quick check on how you have been since the last visit, the session combines hands-on treatment or electrotherapy where it helps, such as cryotherapy (cold therapy) and TENS therapy, with guided exercises like post surgery exercises and ankle pumps. It ends with an updated home programme.

It is usually combined with cryotherapy (cold therapy), TENS therapy, dynamic compression therapy, soft tissue mobilisation and manual therapy, depending on your assessment and how you respond.

Common exercises include post surgery exercises, ankle pumps, quadriceps sets, heel slides, sit to stand and walking exercises. They start at a comfortable level and are progressed as you improve.

A session usually takes 45 to 60 minutes, covering a progress check, treatment and an update to your home exercises.

It depends on the surgery: a few weeks after arthroscopy, 3 months after knee replacement, 9 to 12 months after ACL reconstruction.

Often 3 to 5 times a week in the first weeks, reducing to weekly reviews.

Yes. Ice, TENS, positioning and graded movement help manage post-operative pain.

Yes. Restoring range early, especially after knee surgery, is one of the main aims.

Yes. Strength is rebuilt progressively once healing allows.

Yes. Early rehab is often best done at home, when travel is hard. Later phases may continue at the clinic. We visit homes across Indirapuram, Vaishali, Vasundhara, Noida and Ghaziabad; see home visit physiotherapy.

This is exactly what it is for, from the first days after surgery to full recovery.

Yes. Older adults after joint replacement or hip fracture are a large group; children after orthopaedic surgery are treated with adapted programmes.

Follow your surgeon's weight-bearing and movement limits. Wound redness, fever, calf pain or swelling need the surgical team straight away.

Ideally before surgery for prehab, and within days of discharge for rehab. You can book an assessment at our Indirapuram clinic or ask for a home visit.
