The period following the procedure is a critical chapter where the real journey of healing and recovery begins.

Understanding Recovery After a Craniotomy

A craniotomy is a surgical procedure where a section of the skull is temporarily removed to allow a neurosurgeon to access the brain. It is performed for a variety of critical reasons, including:

Removing a brain tumor
Clipping a brain aneurysm
Draining a blood clot or hematoma (often after a TBI)
Relieving intracranial pressure

Brain tumors, a common reason for a craniotomy, are a significant health concern, with over 28,000 cases registered in India annually. Regardless of the reason for the surgery, the brain has undergone a major event and needs active, guided support to heal.

Specialized rehabilitation is essential because of neuroplasticity. Your brain has an incredible capacity to rewire itself, and our intensive therapy programs provide the structured stimulation needed to guide this process, helping healthy areas of the brain learn to take over lost functions.

Our Post-Craniotomy Program Is Designed To:

Safely rebuild your physical strength, balance, and coordination.
Improve cognitive functions like memory, concentration, and problem-solving.
Restore your ability to live as independently and safely as possible.
Manage common post-surgical challenges like fatigue and pain.
Provide a secure, medically supervised environment for your recovery.

Your Integrated Recovery Program at Neuro Rehab

Your recovery plan is personalized based on the reason for your surgery and the specific brain functions that have been affected.

Neuro-Physiotherapy for Physical Recovery

After brain surgery, it's common to experience weakness (hemiparesis), poor balance, and difficulty with coordinated movements.

How we help: Our neuro-physiotherapists design a one-on-one program of targeted exercises to re-establish the brain-to-muscle connection, improve your balance, and help you relearn how to walk and move with safety and confidence.

Cognitive Rehabilitation for Mental Clarity

This is a critical part of recovery. Your "thinking skills" are often impacted by the surgery and the underlying condition.

How we help: Our therapists use specialized exercises and practical strategies to address challenges with short-term memory, attention span, and executive functions (the brain's ability to plan and organize). The goal is to improve your mental clarity and function.

Occupational Therapy for Daily Independence

Our occupational therapists are the crucial link between your centeral recovery and your real life.

How we help: We help you safely relearn and adapt Activities of Daily Living (ADLs) like dressing, bathing, and preparing simple meals. We provide strategies to compensate for any new physical or cognitive challenges, with the ultimate goal of maximizing your independence.
