Under the esteemed guidance of Dr. Krishna Parate, recognized as one of the best orthopedic doctors in Nagpur, we’ve come to understand the profound impact of physical therapy. Post-operative patients, while relieved from the pain or issue that initially brought them to surgery, are not always ‘out of the woods’. Surgery might repair a damaged joint or bone, but the body now has to relearn how to function optimally with this ‘fixed’ component. This is where physical therapy comes into play.

Post-operative stiffness and weakness are not uncommon. Physical therapists are trained to guide patients through exercises that can help in regaining strength and mobility. The targeted exercises can ensure that muscles around the operated area are robust, providing better support and reducing the risk of future injuries.

A joint, post-surgery, may not have the same flexibility it once had. Physical therapy offers exercises and techniques that can aid in regaining this lost range of motion, ensuring that the joint functions as naturally as possible.

Physical therapy provides techniques like massage, heat therapy, and cold therapy, which can significantly reduce pain without solely relying on medications. This not only aids in faster recovery but also reduces the risk of post-operative complications related to prolonged drug use.

Every patient’s body, surgery, and needs are unique. Physical therapists at Kalpavruksha Hospital, under the guidance of Dr. Krishna Parate, design individualized recovery plans tailored to the specific requirements of each patient.

Walking after a hip surgery or moving a shoulder post rotator cuff repair can be daunting. Physical therapy helps in building the patient’s confidence, ensuring they can return to their daily lives without fear
