Treatment Overview
Surgical procedures like total knee replacement (TKR), total hip replacement (THR), ACL reconstruction, or spinal fixation require immediate, safe, and progressive rehabilitation. We work alongside surgeon protocols to restore joint flexibility, prevent deep vein thrombosis, breakdown scar tissue, and rebuild muscle strength.
Common Symptoms
- Post-operative joint stiffness and swelling
- Muscle atrophy surrounding the surgical site
- Difficulty bearing weight or walking without crutches
Underlying Causes
- Total Knee / Hip Replacement surgery
- Ligament reconstruction (ACL / PCL repair)
- Fracture fixation (plates, pins, or external fixators)
4-Step Clinical Treatment Process
Phase I: Protection & Mobility
Gentle passive range of motion, edema management, and circulation pumps.
Phase II: Active Movement & Scar Therapy
Gentle scar mobilization, active-assisted flexions, and quad lag correction.
Phase III: Progressive Resistance & Weight Bearing
Strengthening muscles and normalizing gait without walking aids.
Phase IV: Full Functional Independence
Advanced balance, stair navigation, and return to daily activities.
Recommended For
- Patients following TKR, THR, or shoulder arthroscopy
- Individuals recovering from fracture fixation surgeries
- Patients post spinal discectomy or fusion
Precautions & Contraindications
- Surgical incisions showing active infection or unhealed discharge
