Surgery is an invasive procedure that puts stress on your body, and it is important that the operated area heals properly. Physiotherapy can speed up the process of healing and re-establish (or even improve) the mobility of your muscles or joints faster. The sooner you begin your rehabilitation process with physiotherapy after your surgery, the less scar tissue will build up and limit your mobility. In return, the less scar tissue can build up, the less painful your rehabilitation process will be. Physiotherapy can therefore also help with pain management.
