Postoperative Rehabilitation

Postoperative rehabilitation in orthopedic physical therapy involves a structured program designed to help patients recover after surgery on bones, joints, or muscles. This process includes exercises to restore strength, flexibility, and function while managing pain and swelling. A physical therapist tailors the rehabilitation plan based on the type of surgery and individual needs, ensuring safe progress. The goal is to help patients regain mobility, return to daily activities, and prevent complications, ultimately enhancing their quality of life. Regular follow-up sessions monitor progress and adjust the program as needed for optimal recovery.
