Post Surgery Rehabilitation Q & A

What is post-surgery rehabilitation?

Post-surgery rehabilitation is a recovery process designed to help you regain strength, mobility, and function after an operation. It typically involves physical therapy, gentle exercises, and professional guidance to help you heal properly and return to your daily activities with confidence.

Rehabilitation plays a key role in ensuring a smooth and successful recovery. It helps prevent stiffness, reduces pain, strengthens muscles, and improves flexibility. Skipping post-surgery rehab or rushing the recovery process can lead to complications or longer healing times.

Which surgeries require rehabilitation?

Many surgeries benefit from rehabilitation, but it’s especially important for:

  • Orthopedic surgeries like tendon repairs, ligament reconstructions, and fractures
  • Joint surgeries such as knee or hip replacements
  • Spinal surgeries, for example, herniated disc repair and spinal fusion

Even minor procedures benefit from some form of rehabilitation to ensure proper healing.

Your provider will give you specific instructions, but rehab often begins as soon as it’s safe — sometimes within days of surgery for minor procedures. For major surgeries, rehab may start after a few weeks. The key is to follow Boston Pain Clinic’s advice and ease into it gradually.

How long does rehabilitation take?

Recovery times vary depending on the type of surgery, your age, overall health, and how well you follow your rehab plan. Some people recover in a few weeks, while others may need several months or even longer. It’s important to be patient and stay consistent with your therapy.

Rehabilitation typically includes three key stages:

Initial assessment

Boston Pain Clinic’s physical therapists evaluate your condition, mobility, and pain levels to create a personalized recovery plan.

Goal setting

You and your therapist set goals, such as reducing pain, improving movement, and regaining strength.

Rehab plan implementation

Your therapist will guide you through treatments, including stretching, strengthening exercises, and hands-on therapy.

Ignoring or skipping rehab can lead to longer recovery times, reduced mobility, and even complications. Sticking to your rehab plan gives you the best chance of fully recovering.

Getting over surgery takes time, but rehabilitation can make the process smoother and more effective. Stay patient, follow your therapy plan, and soon, you’ll be on the path to regaining your strength and returning to the things you love.
