Post-operative rehabilitation is incredibly challenging. It is a collaboration between the patient and the physiotherapist, to formulate the best possible plan and achieve the desired result, returning the patient to their chosen level of activity or sport. Initially, post-surgery patients are often very nervous in not wanting to move the involved area – shoulder, knee, hip, back, wrist post-surgery as they feel they might cause further damage. Consequently, one of the most important aspects is for the patient to check post-surgery; what they can do, and also what they can’t do. Patients should talk to their consultant following their operation to find out what they can and cannot do. Often patients are quite surprised to find out how much they can do even in the first few weeks following their operation. This is a very positive sign and starts the recovery process. Patients have to be careful not to overdo their rehabilitation, so it is important they check with their consultant/physiotherapist. In most cases, with any Orthopaedic type surgery patients may be an in-patient for one or two days.
