Common Questions
Physiotherapy FAQs
When does physiotherapy start after knee replacement?
Physiotherapy usually starts within a day of knee replacement, as advised by your surgeon. Early movement helps reduce stiffness, improve blood flow and get you walking sooner.
Can physiotherapy help back pain without surgery?
Yes. Many people with back or neck pain improve with exercises, posture correction and activity advice. Your doctor will tell you if you need scans or other treatment first.
How many physiotherapy sessions will I need?
It depends on your condition and goals. Some problems improve in a few sessions, while recovery after surgery or a stroke needs regular therapy over several weeks.
Is physiotherapy painful?
Some exercises may feel uncomfortable at first, especially after surgery, but they should not cause sharp pain. Your physiotherapist adjusts the exercises to keep them safe and manageable.
What is chest physiotherapy?
Chest physiotherapy uses breathing exercises, coughing techniques and positioning to clear the lungs and improve breathing. It is often used in the ICU and after chest or abdominal surgery.
Does physiotherapy help after a stroke?
Yes. Rehabilitation after a stroke helps improve balance, walking, hand use and independence. Starting early, as advised by the doctor, gives the best chance of recovery.
Do I need to continue exercises at home?
Yes. A home exercise programme is an important part of recovery. Your physiotherapist will teach you simple, safe exercises to continue after discharge.
