Post Operative Care

Expert Post-Operative Rehabilitation in Pune

The moment you leave the operating room, your recovery journey truly begins. While your surgeon has expertly corrected the underlying structural issue, the long-term success of your procedure is now determined by the quality, expertise, and dedication of your post-operative rehabilitation team.

Research has conclusively shown that patients who participate in a structured, post-operative physiotherapy program demonstrate up to a 50% faster recovery in strength and function compared to those who attempt to recover on their own.

Failing to engage in a structured, professional rehab program can lead to complications like chronic pain, severe stiffness, muscle weakness, and a compromised surgical outcome. At Apricot Care in Pune, we serve as your surgeon's essential partner. Our mission is to protect your surgical investment and guide you through a safe, efficient, and complete recovery.

Our team of specialist physiotherapists provides meticulous, one-on-one care, following your surgeon's specific protocol to the letter. We are dedicated to managing your pain, restoring your function, and helping you return to the life you love, faster, safer, and with total confidence in your body.

Our Post-Operative Program Is Designed To:

  • Ensure a safe and successful outcome from your surgical procedure.
  • Effectively manage post-surgical pain and swelling
  • Safely restore your full range of motion, strength, and flexibility.
  • Prevent the development of scar tissue, stiffness, and other complications
  • Accelerate your healing process so you can return to your life sooner.

We focus meticulously on regaining full knee extension and flexion, controlling swelling, and rebuilding quadriceps strength to give you a stable, pain-free knee for life.

Our team guides you through all surgeon-specific precautions (e.g., avoiding certain movements), restoring a normal walking pattern, and strengthening the crucial hip muscles for long-term stability and confidence.

We manage this delicate recovery with a phased protocol designed to protect the new ligament graft while systematically restoring full motion, strength, and agility for a safe return to sport.

Our gentle, progressive approach protects the delicate surgical repair while restoring pain-free motion and the functional strength needed for daily life.

Our Approach: A Phased Journey to Your Full Recovery

Every recovery is personal, but it must follow a structured, evidence-based path. Our therapists guide you meticulously through each of these four distinct phases.

Phase 1

The Protective Phase (Immediately Post-Op)

This initial phase is all about protecting the surgical repair and managing your body's natural response to the procedure.

Our Focus: We prioritize controlling your pain and swelling using cryotherapy, compression, and elevation. We educate you on safe positions and movements. Your therapist will use gentle passive or active-assisted motion to prevent your joint from getting stiff, without stressing the new repair. We also ensure you are safe and confident using any assistive devices like crutches or a walker.

Phase 2

The Mobility & Activation Phase

As the initial healing progresses and with your surgeon's approval, the focus shifts to actively restoring your movement and re-engaging your muscles.

Our Focus: You will begin to move the joint through its full range of motion under your own power (active range of motion). Your therapist will use hands-on manual therapy techniques to mobilize the joint and manage any scar tissue formation. We introduce gentle muscle activation exercises to "wake up" the muscles that have been dormant.

Phase 3

The Strengthening & Functional Phase

This is where you build the solid foundation of strength needed to support your new joint or repair for a lifetime. This phase is crucial for preventing re-injury.

Our Focus: We design a program of progressive resistive exercises, using bands, weights, and your own bodyweight to build robust muscle strength in both the primary and supporting muscles. We then translate that strength into real-world, functional movements like squatting, lunging, and climbing stairs, all with perfect form. Balance and proprioceptive drills are heavily emphasized to retrain your joint awareness.

Phase 4

The Return to Life & Sport Phase

The final phase is about bridging the gap between being "recovered" and returning to every aspect of your life with total, unwavering confidence.

Our Focus: We tailor this phase to your personal goals. For athletes, this involves advanced techniques like plyometrics (jumping, landing) and sport-specific drills. For others, it might mean ensuring you can comfortably lift your grandchildren or walk for an hour without pain. We provide you with a long-term fitness and maintenance program to ensure your results last a lifetime.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

My surgeon gave me a list of exercises. Why do I need a physiotherapist?

A list of exercises is a great start, but it's not a substitute for expert care. A specialist physiotherapist does much more: ensures you perform exercises with perfect form to avoid injury, uses hands-on manual therapy to improve mobility and reduce pain in ways exercises alone cannot, progresses you at the appropriate rate based on your specific healing, and helps troubleshoot any issues that arise. This personalized guidance is the key to a faster, safer, and more complete recovery.

Is post-operative rehab supposed to be painful?

Some discomfort is normal as you work to regain motion and build strength, but the goal of our therapy is to manage pain, not cause it. Our therapists are experts at working within your comfort levels, using the principle of "challenge, don't harm." If you experience sharp pain, your therapist will immediately modify your program to ensure your comfort and safety

When is the best time to schedule my first appointment?

The ideal time is before your surgery. A "pre-hab" appointment allows us to perform a baseline assessment, teach you how to use crutches, show you some initial exercises, and schedule your first post-op sessions in advance. This ensures there is absolutely no delay in starting your critical recovery process the moment your surgeon gives you the green light.

How long will my recovery take after surgery?

Every surgery and every individual is different. Your recovery timeline depends on the type of surgery, your surgeon's protocol, your pre-surgical fitness level, and other personal health factors. After your initial assessment, your therapist will be able to give you a clear, realistic roadmap and timeline for achieving your specific recovery milestones.
