Post-Surgery Rehabilitation in Dubai

Why Post-Surgery Rehabilitation Matters

Surgery is just the first step in your healing journey. What you do after determines how well you recover.

Professional rehabilitation after surgery helps you restore mobility and function faster, reduce pain naturally, prevent complications like stiffness and scar tissue, rebuild strength safely, and regain independence in your daily activities.

Without proper rehabilitation, you risk prolonged recovery, permanent limitations, or the need for additional procedures. At Physioveda, we specialize in evidence-based post-surgical care in Dubai that accelerates your healing while keeping you safe.

Advanced Physiotherapy For Optimal Recovery

Personalized Treatment Protocols

We create personalized treatment plans using advanced manual therapy, joint mobilization, and soft tissue techniques to directly address scar tissue, stiffness, and pain. You’re not handed a generic exercise sheet, you get active and skilled treatment tailored to your surgery and progress.

Movement Re-Education

Surgery disrupts your natural movement patterns. We use neuromuscular re-education to retrain your body to move correctly, preventing compensatory habits that cause problems down the line. You recover stronger, not just functional.

Clinical Collaboration

We coordinate directly with your surgeon, following their protocol while adapting to your body’s response. This ensures your rehabilitation aligns with surgical expectations and your healing timeline.

What to Expect During Recovery

Recovery progresses through structured phases, starting with pain management and gentle movement, advancing to strengthening and functional training, and culminating in return to your normal activities.

Every person heals differently. Your timeline depends on your specific surgery, overall health, and how your body responds to treatment. We’ll provide realistic expectations and a personalized roadmap during your initial assessment.

Frequently Asked Questions

When should I start rehabilitation after surgery?

Ideally, your first assessment should occur within 1-2 weeks post-surgery, once your surgeon has cleared you for physiotherapy. Early intervention typically leads to better outcomes, faster recovery, and fewer complications. However, it’s never too late to benefit from professional rehabilitation.

How many sessions will I need?

This varies significantly based on surgery type, your overall health, and individual progress. Most patients attend 2-3 sessions per week for 8-12 weeks, though complex procedures may require longer rehabilitation periods. We’ll provide a detailed timeline during your initial assessment.

Will rehabilitation be painful?

Some discomfort during recovery is normal and expected as your body heals and adapts. However, therapy should never cause sharp or severe pain. We work within your tolerance levels and constantly adjust treatment based on your feedback. Our goal is to challenge you appropriately while keeping you safe.

Can I do rehabilitation at home without supervision?

Home exercises are a crucial part of your recovery program, but supervised sessions are essential. Professional guidance ensures proper technique, safe progression, early detection of complications, and motivation to stay on track. The combination of clinic sessions and home exercises produces the best results.

How long will each session last?

Initial assessments typically take 60 minutes, while follow-up treatment sessions are usually 45-60 minutes. This allows adequate time for hands-on treatment, exercise guidance, and education without causing excessive fatigue.

Can family members attend sessions with me?

Absolutely. We encourage family involvement, especially in the early stages of recovery. Family members can learn how to assist you at home and understand your exercise program, which supports better outcomes.
