Post-operative Physiotherapy & Rehabilitation
Post Operative Physiotherapy
Unfortunately the success of your surgery doesn't finish the moment you leave the operating theatre.
There is a famous quote:
"The only place 'success' comes before 'work' is in the dictionary." Vidal Sassoon
Your surgeon will have skillfully performed a surgical procedure that is the initial step towards your successful outcome.
However, you'll have to do some work in the form of exercises to optimise your results.
In hospital you'll be provided with simple exercises to minimise complications such as chest infection or DVT's. You may even be prescribed some early strengthening or range of motion exercises.
Once you are discharged, you'll commonly require re-assessment and checking of your progress.
Post-orthopaedic surgery, you'll almost certainly require exercise progression to fully regain your strength, flexibility and function. The quickest, safest and easiest way to return to your day to day activities is by consulting a physiotherapist experienced in post-operative rehabilitation.
At PhysioWorks, we'll happily assist you in your post-operative care. We are familiar with the treatment protocols prescribed by most Orthopapedic Surgeons in Brisbane. We'll happily liase with your surgeon to determine any specific requirements based on your individual surgery.

Whatever your needs, we'll get you back to your work, sport or day to day activites ASAP.
If you have been a surgical patient, it is not
necessary to obtain a referral from your specialist to return to
post-operative physiotherapy.
However, it is always beneficial to inform your surgeon that you would like to return for post-operative care at PhysioWorks.
You can make an appointment with PhysioWorks at any stage. This is especially important if you believe you are not making
satisfactory progress in your recovery, or if your mobility is
compromised.
