Condition
Pre & Post-Operative Rehabilitation in Canberra
Preparing well for surgery and rehabilitating properly afterwards makes a significant difference to outcomes. NeoPhysio provides structured programs before and after common orthopaedic procedures.
Who is this treatment for?
Adults preparing for or recovering from orthopaedic surgery including knee, hip, shoulder and spinal procedures.
What symptoms does it help?
- Reduced strength and range prior to planned surgery
- Post-surgical stiffness, weakness or deconditioning
- Uncertainty about how much to load a healing area
When should you see a physiotherapist?
As early as possible before planned surgery, and as soon as your surgeon clears you to begin physiotherapy after the procedure.
What happens during treatment?
Assessment aligned with your surgeon's protocol, staged rehabilitation through healing timeframes, and progression to your pre-surgery activities.
How long does recovery usually take?
Highly procedure-dependent — typical soft tissue procedures 6–12 weeks, joint replacements 3–6 months, ACL reconstruction 9–12 months. You will get a clear plan at your first visit.
