Expert Post-Operative Rehabilitation in Pune
Your Medically Supervised Journey to a Faster, Stronger Recovery
Your surgery is over, but your recovery journey has just begun. The success of your operation—especially a major joint replacement like a TKR or THR—is critically dependent on the quality of your post-operative rehabilitation. Following a structured, expert-led therapy program is essential to manage pain, restore movement, and ensure you achieve the best possible long-term outcome from your procedure.
At Apricot Rehab in Pune, we specialize in post-operative care. We work in close collaboration with your surgeon's protocol to create a safe, personalized, and effective rehabilitation plan. Our dedicated therapists will guide you through each stage of healing, helping you move from a state of post-surgical pain and limitation to one of strength, confidence, and complete recovery.
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 complications like stiffness, infection, or scar tissue buildup.
- Accelerate your healing process so you can return to your life sooner.
We Specialize in Rehabilitation For All Major Surgeries
Our therapists in Pune have deep, protocol-based expertise in providing post-operative care, with a special focus on orthopedic procedures.
- Total Knee Replacement (TKR): Our primary focus is on regaining full knee extension (straightening) and flexion (bending), controlling swelling, and rebuilding quadriceps strength to ensure a stable, pain-free knee.
- Total Hip Replacement (THR): We guide you through surgeon-specific precautions, restoring a normal walking pattern (gait), and strengthening the crucial hip muscles for long-term stability and confidence.
- ACL Reconstruction:This delicate rehab requires a phased protocol to protect the new ligament graft while systematically restoring full motion, strength, and agility for a safe return to sport.
- Rotator Cuff Repair & Shoulder Surgeries: We focus on a careful, phased progression from passive motion to active motion and finally strengthening, to protect the delicate surgical repair and restore full shoulder function.
- Spine Surgeries & Fracture Repair: Our expert team guides you through core stabilization and safe, progressive weight-bearing to ensure optimal healing.

Your Recovery, The Four Phases: Our Structured Approach
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, which is particularly critical for TKR and THR recovery.
The Protective Phase (Immediately Post-Op)
This initial phase is all about protecting the new joint and managing the body's natural response to surgery.
- Our Focus: We prioritize controlling your pain and swelling using cryotherapy and compression. For TKR, achieving full knee extension early is a critical goal we work on from day one. Your therapist will use gentle passive or active-assisted motion to prevent your joint from getting stiff, without stressing the implant. We also ensure you are safe and confident using a walker or crutches.
The Mobility & Activation Phase
As the initial healing progresses, 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. We introduce gentle muscle activation exercises for the quadriceps, hamstrings, and glutes. For THR patients, we rigorously enforce and practice hip precautions during all movements.
The Strengthening & Functional Phase
This is where you build the solid foundation of strength needed to support your new joint for a lifetime.
- Our Focus: We design a program of progressive resistive exercises to build robust strength. We then translate that strength into real-world, functional movements like getting up from a chair without using your hands, navigating stairs with confidence, and walking with a normal gait pattern.
The Return to Life Phase
The final phase is about returning to every aspect of your life with total confidence in your new joint.
- Our Focus: We tailor this phase to your personal goals, whether it's returning to walking for an hour, gardening, or playing a sport. We provide you with a long-term home exercise program to ensure your results last a lifetime.

Frequently Asked Questions
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 ensures you perform exercises with perfect form, uses hands-on manual therapy to improve mobility and reduce pain in ways exercises alone cannot, and progresses you at the appropriate rate based on your specific healing. This personalized guidance is the key to a faster, safer, and more complete recovery.
When is the best time to schedule my first appointment for TKR/THR rehab?
The ideal time is before your surgery. A "pre-hab" appointment allows us to perform a baseline assessment, teach you how to use a walker or crutches, 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 a joint replacement?
While you will be up and walking within a day or two of surgery, a full recovery is a marathon, not a sprint. You can expect to be in a formal rehabilitation program for at least 3 months. However, regaining your full strength and function can take anywhere from 6 months to a full year of consistent effort.
