Post Surgery Rehabilitation
What is Post Surgery Rehabilitation?
Postoperative rehabilitation entails a structured regimen aimed at restoring proper joint mobility, enhancing muscle strength surrounding the joint, and optimizing joint function. It’s crucial to grasp that rehabilitation constitutes a lengthy process. While surgery may only take a few hours, the rehabilitation journey spans months, if not a year. The disparity between the brevity of surgery and the extended duration of rehabilitation is significant.
Whether a patient undergoes surgery for cartilage repair, shoulder, ankle, or knee issues, the road to recovery is invariably protracted. Therefore, patient commitment to the entire rehabilitation process is paramount. Nonetheless, while a year-long recovery period serves as an illustrative example, the actual duration hinges on multifarious factors.

Types of Post-Surgery Rehabilitation Offered by SwastyaPhysio
SwastyaPhysio offers three primary types of post-surgery rehabilitation therapies: speech therapy, physical therapy, and occupational therapy. Each of these forms of rehabilitation serves a distinct purpose in aiding individuals towards full recovery. However, they all share the common goal of assisting patients in returning to active and healthy lifestyles.
Rehabilitation therapy addresses a broad spectrum of conditions and injuries, including musculoskeletal and orthopedic injuries such as strains, sprains, tears, and post-surgical rehabilitation. Additionally, neurological injuries like spinal cord or brain injuries, strokes, and multi-trauma injuries resulting from accidents are also commonly treated. SwastyaPhysio’s reputable physiotherapists are adept at treating various conditions, including degenerative diseases, genetic disorders, and specialized conditions, catering to patients of all ages, from newborns to the elderly.
The goals of post-surgery rehabilitation in Bangalore or Hyderabad vary for each individual. Physiotherapists at SwastyaPhysio prioritize understanding each patient’s rehabilitation goals before devising a personalized treatment plan. This plan may incorporate various types of therapy, such as music or recreational therapy, speech therapy, physical therapy, or occupational therapy. Furthermore, treatment techniques like manual therapy, therapeutic exercise, modalities for pain relief, neurological re-education, and more may be employed as part of the rehabilitation strategy.
When to Seek Physiotherapy After Surgery
Post-surgery rehabilitation is crucial for patients undergoing procedures related to cancer, cardiac issues, orthopedics, and other critical surgeries. SwastyaPhysio employs a range of exercises to help patients regain muscle strength and movement, facilitating the performance of routine tasks whenever possible. Recommended physical exercises include straight leg raises, knee straightening exercises, ankle pumps, and quadriceps sets, all aimed at re-establishing joint motion, muscle strength, flexibility, and full joint mobility.
Advanced exercises like assisted knee bends and standing knee bends are highly recommended for enhancing functionality and optimal strength as patients regain independence over shorter distances.

Preventing Post-Surgery Rehabilitation Needs
Bone, muscle, and soft tissue surgeries require a healing period, during which using the joint is essential to prevent improper healing. Failure to do so can limit motion range, joint function, flexibility, and overall surgical outcomes. Completing physical therapy after surgery is essential to expedite the healing process and restore confidence.
