Orthopaedic Rehabilitation – Home-Based Therapy
Understanding Orthopaedic Procedures
From joint replacements to fracture repairs and spinal surgery, orthopaedic procedures treat diseases associated with bones, joints, muscles, ligaments and tendons. Although the goal of these surgeries is to relieve pain , recovery doesn’t end in the operating theatre. Physiotherapy is a crucial part of the post-operative journey. It ensures proper healing, reduces complications, improves strength and mobility, and helps you return to daily life safely. Our orthopaedic rehabilitation services are delivered at home, providing one-on-one expert support to help you recover faster, with greater comfort and confidence.
Common Challenges After Orthopaedic Surgery
Pain and Swelling
Sleep, mobility, and exercise participation can all be impacted by post-operative inflammation and discomfort.
Joint Stiffness
Fear of low mobility or movement often causes stiffness around the operated area.
Muscle Weakness
The muscles after surgery are quickly weakened, especially after immobilisation or bed rest.
Limited Function and Daily Activity
Getting in/out of bed, climbing stairs, or on foot unaided can be tough after surgery
Fear of Movement or Re-injury
Many patients feel unsure or afraid to move the affected area too much, delaying recovery.
