Recovering from surgery can be challenging, and physiotherapy plays a vital role in ensuring a smooth and successful recovery. At DT Physio, I provide tailored post-operative rehabilitation plans to help individuals restore mobility, build strength, and regain independence.
​
After surgery, the body needs time, movement, and support to heal properly. Whether you've had a joint replacement, spinal procedure, or abdominal surgery, early and targeted rehabilitation can significantly improve outcomes and reduce the risk of complications such as stiffness, weakness, or delayed healing.
​
Common Post-Surgical Challenges

• Reduced Strength & Mobility – Muscles may weaken due to inactivity during recovery.

• Pain & Swelling – Managing symptoms is essential for comfortable and effective rehabilitation.

• Loss of Confidence – Fear of re-injury can lead to hesitation with movement and daily tasks.

• Balance & Coordination Issues – Particularly common after orthopaedic or neurological surgery.

• Scar Tissue & Joint Stiffness – Can restrict movement if not addressed early.
