Post-Operative Recovery
Post-operative recovery is a crucial time after surgery that aims to restore physical function, strength, and overall well-being. It helps patients heal from surgical trauma and helps prevent complications such as infections, stiffness, or muscle weakness. Recovery needs vary depending on the type of surgery and individual health.

How We Diagnose Post-Operative Recovery
At Manipal Hospitals, specialists providing physiotherapy treatment in Delhi evaluate patients’ pain, mobility, and muscle strength as part of post-operative diagnosis. They assess the surgical area, review healing progress, and perform functional movement tests. These evaluations help identify limitations and guide the creation of a tailored recovery plan suited to each patient’s surgical procedure and health goals.
Treatment Options
Treatment includes personalised physiotherapy sessions, mobility training, muscle strengthening, and pain management techniques. Manual therapy, balance exercises, and electrotherapy may also be used to enhance healing, reduce swelling, and improve flexibility and endurance.

FAQs
-
How much pain is "normal" after surgery?
Some discomfort is expected, but it should gradually decrease each day. You should feel "managed" by your prescribed medications. If pain suddenly spikes, becomes throbbing, or is not relieved by your meds, it could be a sign of a complication like a blood clot or infection.
-
When can I take a shower?
This depends on your surgeon’s specific orders and the type of closure used (staples, stitches, or glue). Generally, most patients can shower 24 to 48 hours after surgery, but you must avoid soaking the incision in a bath, pool, or hot tub until it is completely closed.
-
What are the warning signs of an infection?
Keep a close eye on the incision site. Seek medical help if you notice increasing redness, warmth, foul-smelling drainage (pus), or if the edges of the wound begin to pull apart. A fever over 101°F (38.3°C) is also a major red flag.
-
Why am I so constipated after surgery?
Post-op constipation is very common due to the combination of anaesthesia, a lack of movement, and opioid pain medications. Walking as soon as permitted and increasing your fluid and fibre intake (or using a stool softener) can help get things moving again.
-
What is a "DVT" and how do I prevent it?
A Deep Vein Thrombosis (DVT) is a blood clot, usually in the leg, that can be life-threatening if it travels to the lungs. The best prevention is early movement—even just flexing your ankles in bed—and wearing compression stockings if they were provided.
