Post Surgical Physiotherapy
After an operation, post-surgical physiotherapy plays a crucial role in recovery, helping to restore mobility, reduce pain, and regain strength. Common surgeries that benefit from physiotherapy include:
Knee Replacement (Total Knee Arthroplasty)
After a knee replacement, physiotherapy focuses on reducing swelling, improving range of motion, strengthening surrounding muscles, and restoring normal walking patterns to ensure a full recovery.
Hip Replacement (Total Hip Arthroplasty)
Post-surgical physiotherapy helps with pain management, hip joint mobility, muscle strengthening, and gait retraining to promote a smooth return to daily activities.
ACL Reconstruction
This is a very common operation following knee trauma, for example from playing rugby or skiing. MRI is often required for diagnosis, and either the patellar tendon or hamstring tendon is used to replace the damaged ACL ligament. It is vitally important for the best outcome that the patient receives highly skilled and early physiotherapy rehabilitation. The use of hands-on treatments, HPL (High-Powered Laser), and a specific accelerated ACL exercise protocol provides the fastest and best outcomes. Just as we tailor recovery programs for ACL rehabilitation, our Headache Physiotherapy Bristol services offer targeted treatment to relieve pain and restore daily function.
