Undergoing surgery is only the first step in your recovery journey. The real progress begins afterward with proper post-surgery physiotherapy. At Vancity Physio, we specialize in helping patients rebuild strength, restore movement, and get back to their normal activities safely and confidently.
Whether you’ve had a joint replacement, ACL repair, or spinal surgery, our team of Vancouver post-surgical physiotherapists creates a customized plan designed to reduce pain, enhance recovery, and improve your quality of life.
Why Post-Surgery Physiotherapy Matters
After any surgery, your body needs guidance to heal properly. Without movement or professional supervision, stiffness and weakness can set in delaying your recovery.
At Vancity Physio, our post-surgical rehabilitation programs focus on:
-
Pain and swelling reduction through manual therapy and movement techniques.
-
Improved joint mobility and flexibility to restore your natural range of motion.
-
Progressive strengthening to rebuild muscle and stability.
-
Better circulation for faster healing.
-
Restored balance and coordination to return to daily activities safely.
Our approach ensures every patient recovers with confidence and long-term results.
Common Surgeries That Benefit from Physiotherapy

-

What to Expect from Post-Surgery Physiotherapy at Vancity Physio
Your rehabilitation at Vancity Physio begins with a comprehensive assessment to understand your surgery, healing progress, and physical condition. From there, our physiotherapists design a plan that may include:
-
Manual therapy to relieve pain and stiffness.
-
Gentle mobility exercises to maintain flexibility.
-
Targeted strength training to support your healing tissues.
-
Posture and gait retraining for safe movement.
-
At-home exercise programs to continue progress between visits.
Our therapists guide you through each stage, ensuring your recovery is safe, efficient, and effective.
When Should You Start Post-Surgery Physiotherapy?
Most patients benefit from starting physiotherapy shortly after surgery, once cleared by their surgeon. Early movement promotes circulation, reduces scar tissue formation, and helps prevent stiffness.
Your Vancity Physio therapist will coordinate closely with your surgeon to determine the ideal timeline for your recovery program.
