Common Concerns
Frequently Asked Questions
This depends on your specific surgery. Some procedures require immediate post-operative physiotherapy within days, while others may wait a few weeks. We coordinate with your surgeon to determine optimal timing.
Some discomfort is normal as we work to restore movement and strength. However, treatment should never be unbearably painful. We work within your tolerance and progress gradually as healing allows.
Recovery timelines vary by procedure. Joint replacements typically take 3-6 months for full recovery, while ACL reconstruction requires 9-12 months. We provide realistic timelines and objective markers for progression.
Consistency with your exercises and following rehabilitation protocols are key. However, tissues heal on biological timelines that can't be rushed. Trying to progress too quickly increases complication risk.
