What Is Post-Surgical Rehabilitation?

Post-surgical rehabilitation is physiotherapy carried out after orthopedic or uro-gynecological surgery, aimed at reducing pain, restoring joint function, and supporting your return to daily activities. Since recovery needs vary significantly depending on the surgery and the individual, treatment starts with an assessment of your surgical history and current function, and your physiotherapist builds a plan around that — adjusting it as you progress through recovery.
