Post Surgery Care
Post-surgery physiotherapy plays a vital role in safe and successful recovery. At Letterkenny Physiotherapy, Acupuncture & Sports Injury Clinic, treatment is tailored to the type of surgery, the area involved, and how long it has been since the procedure. Rehabilitation focuses on restoring movement, rebuilding strength, and preventing long-term issues. A guided programme helps you return to normal function with confidence.
Knee, Hip, and Shoulder Surgery Rehabilitation
Common knee procedures include:
-
Keyhole surgery
-
Partial meniscectomy
-
ACL reconstruction
-
Total knee replacement
Hip rehabilitation commonly follows labral repairs and total hip replacement.
Total joint replacement rehabilitation includes:
-
Knee joint replacement
-
Hip joint replacement
-
Shoulder joint replacement
If limping or restricted movement continues after crutches or a sling are no longer required, this usually indicates muscle weakness or reduced joint control. A structured programme of targeted exercises is essential to restore strength, improve movement, and support a safe return to everyday activity.
Shoulder Surgery Recovery
The most common shoulder surgeries include:
-
Acromioplasty
-
Rotator cuff repairs
-
Shoulder reconstructions
These procedures affect the muscles and tendons that stabilise the shoulder joint. A guided exercise programme is essential to restore strength and control of the shoulder blade.
Spinal Surgery Rehabilitation
Spinal procedures may include:
-
Discectomy
-
Foraminoplasty
-
Spinal fusion
Each requires careful rehabilitation to support the spine and surrounding muscles. Treatment focuses on restoring movement while protecting the surgical area.
