At KC-Physio, we provide specialized post-operative rehabilitation for patients of all ages, recognizing that the success of any surgery is deeply dependent on the quality of the recovery period. Whether you are a young athlete recovering from an ACL reconstruction, a middle-aged professional following spinal surgery, or a senior rehabilitating after a total hip or knee replacement, our clinic offers the structured guidance necessary to restore function. Surgery often leaves the surrounding tissues traumatized and muscles inhibited; without professional intervention, this can lead to permanent stiffness, muscle atrophy, and suboptimal surgical outcomes.

Our approach is built on a foundation of phased recovery, beginning with early-stage swelling management and gentle mobilization to prevent scar tissue adhesions. As you progress, we transition into functional strengthening and balance training, carefully loading the repaired structures according to your surgeon's specific protocols. We utilize manual therapy, soft tissue release, and targeted exercise prescription to ensure that every patient, regardless of age, regains the independence and strength required for their specific lifestyle. At KC-Physio, we bridge the gap between the operating theater and your return to full activity, ensuring your surgical investment yields the best possible long-term results.

Post-Operative Recovery Timeline Summary:
While every surgery has unique requirements, most rehabilitation follows four distinct phases to ensure safety and success:

Phase 1: Protection & Pain Management (Weeks 1–2): Focuses on controlling swelling, managing pain, and protecting the surgical site while initiating very gentle movement.

Phase 2: Restoring Mobility (Weeks 2–6): Aims to regain range of motion and prevent the formation of restrictive scar tissue through guided manual therapy.

Phase 3: Progressive Strengthening (Weeks 6–12): Focuses on rebuilding muscle mass and stability as the body begins to tolerate higher mechanical loads.

Phase 4: Functional Return (3 Months+): Specialized training to return to sport or high-level daily activities, ensuring the body can handle impact and complex movements safely.
