What does this involve?
Physiotherapy supports recovery through exercises and guidance matched to the operation. It may also include help using walking aids or adapting daily tasks.
What should you prepare or check?
The starting point and pace depend on the tissues healing and your surgeon's instructions. Your programme is adjusted as movement, strength and function improve.
Common questions
When should physiotherapy begin?
The timing varies by procedure. Follow the plan agreed by your surgeon and physiotherapist.
Can I use a general exercise programme?
Your postoperative restrictions may differ from someone else's. Use exercises prescribed for your operation and stage of recovery.
