Frequently Asked Questions
Common questions about orthopedic rehabilitation
What is orthopedic rehabilitation physiotherapy?
Orthopedic rehabilitation is specialized physiotherapy focused on treating musculoskeletal conditions affecting bones, joints, muscles, ligaments, and tendons. It includes treatment for fractures, joint replacements, arthritis, sports injuries, and post-surgical recovery to restore mobility, strength, and function through exercises, manual therapy, and advanced modalities.
How long does orthopedic rehabilitation take?
Duration varies by condition and severity. Simple fractures may need 6-8 weeks, joint replacements typically require 8-12 weeks for basic recovery and 4-6 months for complete rehabilitation. Complex injuries or arthritis may need 3-6 months of ongoing management. Your physiotherapist creates a personalized timeline based on your progress.
When should I start physiotherapy after orthopedic surgery?
Most patients should begin physiotherapy within 24-48 hours after surgery with gentle exercises and mobilization. Early rehabilitation prevents complications like blood clots, reduces stiffness, maintains muscle function, and accelerates recovery. Your surgeon and physiotherapist will determine the optimal start time based on your specific procedure and condition.
What is the difference between orthopedic and sports physiotherapy?
Orthopedic physiotherapy broadly treats musculoskeletal conditions including surgeries, fractures, and arthritis in all populations. Sports physiotherapy specifically focuses on athletic injuries and performance, with sport-specific training and return-to-sport protocols. There's significant overlap, and many therapists are trained in both. At PhysioNutra, we provide comprehensive care for both.
Can physiotherapy help avoid knee or hip replacement surgery?
Yes, in many cases! Research shows that comprehensive physiotherapy can significantly delay or even avoid joint replacement surgery, especially for mild to moderate arthritis. Treatment includes strengthening exercises, manual therapy, weight management guidance, activity modification, and pain management strategies. Even if surgery becomes necessary later, pre-surgical physiotherapy (prehab) improves post-surgical outcomes.
Will my orthopedic physiotherapy be painful?
Some discomfort during exercises is normal as you challenge healing tissues, but treatment should not be excessively painful. We work within your pain tolerance and progress gradually. Pain is a signal, not a goal. Our therapists use gentle techniques, proper pacing, and pain management strategies to ensure you're comfortable while still making progress in your recovery.
Do I need a doctor's referral for orthopedic physiotherapy?
In most cases, you can directly visit a physiotherapist without a referral. However, for post-surgical cases or if you're using insurance, a doctor's referral may be required. We recommend bringing any medical reports, X-rays, or MRI scans from your orthopedic doctor to your first visit for better assessment and treatment planning.
What should I bring to my first orthopedic physiotherapy session?
Bring any medical reports, X-rays, MRI or CT scan images, surgical notes, current medications list, and your doctor's prescription if available. Wear comfortable, loose clothing that allows easy access to the affected area. For knee/leg conditions, wear shorts; for shoulder issues, wear a tank top or loose t-shirt. Bring a list of questions or concerns you'd like to discuss.
