The Importance of

Physiotherapy in
Orthopaedic Recovery

Surgery is just one step in achieving a successful recovery from orthopaedic injury or joint degeneration. Reconditioning the body through physiotherapy is often vital to regain flexibility, strength, and optimal function after hip or knee replacement, or sports knee surgery.

Dr. Samuel Duff’s Perth practice integrates dedicated physiotherapy services as a pillar of comprehensive orthopaedic care.

Post-Surgical Physiotherapy Care

Our in-house physiotherapist collaborates closely with our experienced clinical nurse and Dr. Duff to guide your rehabilitation journey from initial injury through complete recovery.

We understand the importance of allowing surgical sites and injured tissues adequate time to heal and inflammation to settle while maintaining muscle function. As the acute post-surgical phase transitions to recovery, your physiotherapy program progressively advances strengthening and flexibility exercises to help you regain full function.
