Post Surgery Rehabilitation
What is Post Surgery Rehab?
Post-surgery rehabilitation is an extensive program designed to restore optimal joint movement, enhance muscle strength surrounding the joint, and ensure full joint functionality. Upon discharge, our physiotherapy team diligently guides patients in performing targeted range-of-motion exercises. These exercises are crucial for reinforcing and mobilizing the affected joints and muscles, promoting better blood circulation, and alleviating any respiratory complications that may have developed during the hospital stay.
