Post-Surgical Rehabilitation: An Educational Overview
Rehabilitation after surgery is often central to a full recovery. It aims to restore movement, strength and function while protecting the healing tissues.
What is post-surgical rehabilitation?
Rehabilitation after surgery involves a structured plan of movement, strengthening and functional activities, guided by the type of surgery and the surgeon's advice.
Common goals
Goals may include managing pain and swelling, restoring range of motion, building strength, and safely returning to work, home activities and sport.
General principles
Recovery is usually gradual, with progression based on healing timeframes and individual response. Following the guidance of the surgical team is important.
When to seek advice
New severe pain, marked swelling, redness with fever, or concerns about wound healing should always be reported to the surgical team without delay.
