Post Operative Consultations at Berry Physiotherapy

Post-Operative Physiotherapy

While we do our best to help our patients avoid surgery, sometimes a surgery is the best option. Berry Physiotherapy is committed to providing the best possible care for patients undergoing surgical procedures. Our team of physiotherapists understands the importance of proper rehabilitation and recovery after surgery. Here, we'll discuss what post-operative physiotherapy is, how it can help patients recover from different operations, and the benefits of working with our team.

We are able to provide Physiotherapy after your operation through funding such as a Workers Insurance claim or CTP, or privately. 

What is Post-Operative Physiotherapy?

Post-operative physiotherapy is designed to help patients recover from surgery. It focuses on restoring mobility, strength, and flexibility while minimizing pain and reducing the risk of complications. Our physiotherapists work closely with surgeons and use a combination of exercises, modalities, and manual therapy techniques to facilitate the healing process and promote optimal recovery.
