RECOVERING AFTER SURGERY: A GUIDE TO POST-SURGERY PHYSIOTHERAPY IN HEREFORD

If you have required surgery for any joint, the success of the operation doesn't finish the moment you leave the operating theatre. After surgery you'll be required to do some form of exercises to begin your recovery.

​

It is often beneficial to strengthen around the joint for a period of time before an operation. This can improve the likelihood of success after the operation.

 

After the surgery, physiotherapy exercises may be given after surgery on the 1st day.  You'll likely be provided with simple exercises to minimise complications and to get the general strength and mobility started. When you are discharged, you'll require a continued progressive exercise program to help you achieve full strength, range of movement, mobility and if required stability.  ​

UNDERSTANDING POST-SURGERY RECOVERY

​

Post-surgery recovery is a crucial phase that requires patience, determination, and expert guidance. It's essential to acknowledge that each individual's recovery journey is unique, influenced by factors such as the type of surgery, overall health, and adherence to post-operative care instructions. Physiotherapy plays a pivotal role in this process, facilitating rehabilitation, enhancing mobility, and reducing the risk of complications.
