Post-surgery physiotherapy rehabilitation at Total Wellness Rehab Brampton

Surgery fixes the structural problem — but physiotherapy restores your function. Skipping post-surgical rehab is one of the most common reasons people don't achieve full recovery.

Why Post-Surgical Physio Matters

Without guided rehabilitation, scar tissue, muscle atrophy and compensatory movement patterns can limit your outcome — even after a successful operation.

Surgeries We Commonly Rehab

  • ACL and knee arthroscopy
  • Rotator cuff and shoulder repair
  • Hip replacement and labral repair
  • Spinal fusion and discectomy
  • Fracture fixation

Our Post-Surgical Protocol

We follow surgeon-specific protocols while adding hands-on therapy, progressive loading and advanced modalities like TECAR and SIS therapy to speed tissue healing when appropriate.

Timeline Expectations

Recovery timelines vary by procedure. Your physiotherapist sets realistic milestones and keeps you progressing safely — never rushing, never stalling.

Frequently Asked Questions

When should I start physio after surgery?

Often within days to 2 weeks, depending on your surgeon's protocol. Early gentle movement prevents stiffness and scar tissue complications.

Does insurance cover post-surgical physiotherapy?

Yes. Extended health plans typically cover physiotherapy post-surgery. We direct-bill to most major Canadian insurers.

Can TECAR help after surgery?

TECAR therapy can accelerate tissue healing and reduce swelling in the post-surgical phase when cleared by your surgeon and physiotherapist.
