Post Operative Rehabilitation

We can help you get back on track after your operation.

After undergoing an orthopaedic surgery, it is important to undergo a comprehensive rehabilitation program to ensure optimal recovery and restoration of function. Our physiotherapists are highly trained in providing post-operative rehabilitation and physiotherapy treatment for a range of orthopaedic surgeries, including joint replacements, ligament reconstructions, and fractures. 

Common Orthopaedic Surgeries 

Some of the common orthopaedic surgeries that we provide post-operative rehabilitation and physiotherapy treatment for include: 

  • Joint Replacements - This involves the replacement of a damaged joint, such as the hip or knee, with an artificial joint. Our physiotherapists work closely with orthopaedic surgeons to provide comprehensive rehabilitation programs to help patients regain mobility, strength, and function. 

  • Ligament Reconstructions - This involves the repair or reconstruction of a torn ligament, such as the ACL or PCL. Our physiotherapists work closely with patients to develop personalized rehabilitation programs to help restore strength, stability, and function in the affected joint. 

  • Fractures - This involves the surgical repair of a broken bone, often involving the insertion of metal plates or screws. Our physiotherapists provide comprehensive rehabilitation programs to help patients regain strength, mobility, and function in the affected area. 

  • Shoulder surgery – most commonly rotator cuff repairs, arthroscopies, joint replacements and stabilisation surgeries. At Physio on Bayside our Physiotherapists will provide hands-on treatment and exercise therapy to help you get back to doing what you love. 

Post-Operative Rehabilitation and Physiotherapy Treatment 

Our post-operative rehabilitation and physiotherapy treatment programs are designed to help patients regain strength, mobility, and function after orthopaedic surgery. Our physiotherapists work closely with patients to develop personalized treatment plans that may include a range of techniques and modalities, such as: 

  • Manual therapy - This involves hands-on techniques to mobilize and manipulate the joints and soft tissues, including massage, joint mobilization, and muscle energy techniques. 

  • Exercise therapy - This involves a range of exercises to improve strength, mobility, and function, including range of motion exercises, strengthening exercises, and balance exercises. 

  • Modalities - This includes the use of modalities such as ultrasound, electrical stimulation, and hot and cold therapy to help reduce pain, inflammation, and swelling. 

  • Education - This includes educating patients on proper body mechanics, posture, and ergonomics to help prevent further injury and promote optimal recovery. 

At our clinic, we believe in a collaborative approach to care, and we work closely with orthopaedic surgeons and other healthcare professionals to ensure the best possible outcomes for our patients.
