FAQs
When should I start physiotherapy after surgery?
In most cases, post-surgical physiotherapy should begin as soon as your surgeon clears you for rehabilitation, often within the first one to two weeks depending on the procedure. Starting on time, and following the correct stage-appropriate protocol, helps restore mobility safely and reduces the risk of stiffness, scar tissue restrictions, or muscle weakness setting in.
What types of post-surgical rehabilitation does Pellizzato Physiotherapy offer?
Post-surgical rehabilitation is provided for a wide range of procedures, including ACL reconstruction, meniscus repair, knee and hip replacement, hip arthroscopy, rotator cuff and labral repair, shoulder replacement, ankle and foot fracture repair, Achilles tendon repair, and spinal procedures such as discectomy, laminectomy, and disc herniation. Each programme is tailored to the specific procedure, healing stage, and your functional goals.
How long does post-surgical rehabilitation take?
Recovery timelines vary significantly depending on the procedure, ranging from a few weeks for minor soft-tissue repairs to several months for major joint replacements or spinal surgery. Your programme is carefully progressed in stages to ensure sustainable recovery, long-term resilience, and a safe, confident return to full activity.
What does post-surgical physiotherapy treatment involve?
Treatment combines skilled manual therapy to improve mobility and reduce pain with progressive, guided exercise therapy to rebuild strength and neuromuscular control. Care is structured around your stage of healing and medical guidelines, with the goal of restoring movement patterns and supporting a safe return to daily activities, work, sport, or performance.
Is it normal to feel anxious about movement after surgery?
Yes, it's very common to feel hesitant or anxious about moving the affected area after surgery or a traumatic injury. Rebuilding confidence is treated as an essential part of rehabilitation, not just a side effect of it, achieved through a structured, transparent process that ensures you understand and trust each stage of your recovery.
