Post-Surgical Rehabilitation: common questions
How soon after surgery should physiotherapy start?
Often within days, depending on the procedure and your surgeon’s instructions. Early, guided movement typically reduces stiffness and speeds recovery.
Should I bring anything from the hospital?
Yes. Please bring your discharge summary, operation notes and any rehabilitation protocol or restrictions your surgeon provided.
