Rehabilitation
Planning physiotherapy after joint surgery in Winnipeg
Planning rehabilitation after joint surgery starts with your surgical team’s instructions. Bring those instructions to your physiotherapist so your care can reflect the procedure, any restrictions and your own goals.
When should I arrange physiotherapy?
Ask your surgical team when and where you should begin rehabilitation. There is no single start date that suits every operation. Before booking, tell the clinic which procedure you have had or are planning, and ask what information it needs from your care team.
What can physiotherapy involve?
Physiotherapy can support movement, strength and stamina after surgery. At St. James Rehab, we offer post-surgical rehabilitation and customized exercise programs. The assessment helps determine which approach is appropriate for you; a general article cannot set your exercise progression.
How do I set useful recovery goals?
Make a short list of the tasks that matter to you. You might want to use stairs at home, get in and out of a vehicle or manage a particular task at work. Share the details with your therapist, including the environment in which you need to do them.
Ask how your progress will be reviewed and when to check in about difficulties. Keep your surgeon’s contact and discharge instructions accessible, and follow the advice you were given about symptoms that need medical attention.
What should I confirm before travelling?
Check appointment times, transport arrangements and any access needs with the clinic. St. James Rehab is on Silver Avenue in Winnipeg, with parking at the front and east side of the building. Call to discuss your needs before your first visit.
