Why targeted rehabilitation matters.
After an operation, the start and course of physiotherapy depend on the procedure, tissue healing and medical instructions. Mobility, muscle activation, strength and functional activity are built up gradually. We tailor rehabilitation to your personal goals in everyday life, work and sport.
How we support rehabilitation.
-
Clarify your starting point and instructions
We consider the procedure, healing process, medical instructions and your current functional abilities.
-
Build mobility and strength
Exercises progress from adapted mobilisation and muscle activation to progressive strength and functional training.
-
Plan an individual return
We guide your return to everyday life, work and sport according to mobility, strength, function and physical capacity.
Frequently asked questions.
When does physiotherapy start after an operation?
When physiotherapy starts after an operation depends on the procedure and medical instructions. After many orthopaedic operations, rehabilitation begins early with adapted mobilisation and is then increased gradually.
How long does rehabilitation after an operation take?
The duration of rehabilitation depends on the operation, tissue healing, physical circumstances and personal goals. Depending on the procedure, rehabilitation may take several weeks to months.
How often should I have physiotherapy after an operation?
The optimum frequency depends on the procedure and stage of rehabilitation. In addition to therapy appointments, an individually tailored home exercise programme is often important. Frequency and physical demands are adapted as you progress.
Which exercises are helpful after an operation?
Suitable exercises after an operation depend on the procedure and the surgeon's instructions. Mobility and muscle activation are often trained first, before strength, coordination and functional activity are built up progressively.
How are strength and mobility rebuilt after an operation?
Strength and mobility are rebuilt gradually after an operation according to tissue healing and individual physical capacity. Mobility exercises, progressive strength training and functional exercises for everyday life, work or sport are used.
When can I return to work or sport after an operation?
The timing depends on the operation, healing process and demands of work or sport. In addition to time-based instructions, mobility, strength, function and physical capacity should be considered. The return is therefore individual and gradual.
