Post-Surgical Physiotherapy in Karachi | Rehabilitation After Surgery for Safe Recovery

Post-surgical physiotherapy helps you recover movement, strength, and confidence after surgery. Many patients experience swelling, stiffness, weakness, reduced endurance, and difficulty with walking, stairs, or daily activities—especially after being less active during hospital stay and early healing. Physiotherapy is commonly used after surgery to improve movement, strength, and stamina and help you return safely to normal life. :contentReference[oaicite:1]{index=1}

At Dr Rizwan Physiotherapy Home Service, we provide professional post-surgical physiotherapy in Karachi with a structured, step-by-step rehab plan. Your program is progressed according to your surgeon’s instructions, precautions, and healing stage.

Our Post-Surgical Physiotherapy Services

Your rehab plan depends on the surgery type (orthopedic, spine, general surgery recovery needs), your restrictions, and your functional goals. Treatment may include:

• Swelling and pain management (positioning, pacing, safe guidance)
• Mobility and ROM exercises to restore movement without overloading healing tissues
• Progressive strengthening (core/hip/upper or lower limb—based on surgery site)
• Balance & proprioception training for stability and fall-risk reduction
• Gait training to restore walking mechanics and confidence
• Functional training (stairs, sit-to-stand, transfers, daily task practice)
• Education on precautions, posture, safe movement and activity progression
• Home exercise program with progression rules

Post-Operative Rehab: Safe Progression

Rehab is progressed in phases: first control pain/swelling and restore basic mobility, then rebuild strength/endurance, and then improve functional performance (walking distance, stairs, daily tasks). For many surgeries, exercise guides emphasize regular, gradual exercises and return to everyday activities as part of recovery. :contentReference[oaicite:3]{index=3}
