Your Rehab Plan

Any form of surgery can be traumatic. It puts stress on your body and can have an impact on your health.

What Should I Expect?

Physical therapy after surgery may be uncomfortable at times. You wont feel pain during physiotherapy. It is recommended to begin working on the affected area after a set amount of healing time. Talk to your doctor about what healing time they recommend. Our physiotherapists will guide you through physiotherapy exercises during your appointments.
