Post-Operative Rehabilitation at Hunjan Hospital, Ludhiana
- Rehabilitation pathways for knee replacement, hip replacement, and fracture fixation
- Spine surgery recovery: discectomy, spinal fusion, and laminectomy
- Early mobilisation protocols to reduce complications and shorten hospital stays
- Integrated care - physiotherapists and orthopaedic surgeons collaborate on every case
- Continuous progress assessments with clearly defined return-to-activity milestones
At our NABH pre-accredited facility in Ludhiana, rehabilitation begins while you are still in the ward. This early start is central to achieving the best possible surgical outcome.
Why Structured Rehabilitation Matters After Surgery
Surgery corrects a structural problem; rehabilitation restores function. Without a guided programme, patients risk muscle atrophy, joint stiffness, deep vein thrombosis, and a prolonged return to daily activities. Research consistently shows that early, supervised physiotherapy reduces these risks and improves long-term outcomes.
At Hunjan Hospital in Ludhiana, our physiotherapists use evidence-based protocols adapted to each surgical procedure. For joint replacements this means progressive weight-bearing, gait retraining, and quadriceps strengthening. For spine surgeries it means core stabilisation, posture correction, and a carefully graduated return to activity.
- Reduces post-surgical swelling and pain through targeted manual therapy
- Restores normal gait patterns after lower-limb surgery
- Prevents scar tissue from limiting joint range of motion
- Builds muscular support around the operated joint or spinal segment
- Educates patients on safe movement to protect the surgical repair
Our team documents each session and adjusts the plan in response to your progress, ensuring recovery stays on track without overstressing healing tissue.

Who Benefits From Post-Operative Rehabilitation?
Post-operative rehabilitation is recommended for virtually all patients who have undergone planned orthopaedic or spinal surgery. Certain groups have the most to gain from a structured programme:
- Total knee or hip replacement patients aiming to return to independent daily living
- Patients recovering from spine surgery who need safe mobilisation guidance
- Individuals after fracture fixation (ORIF, IMN) rebuilding load-bearing capacity
- Elderly patients who require supervised strengthening to regain confidence on their feet
- Younger, active patients seeking a faster, goal-oriented return to work or sport
- Patients with pre-existing conditions (diabetes, cardiac history) needing monitored exertion
Typical Post-Operative Rehabilitation Pathway
Phase-wise milestones for knee or hip replacement - timings vary by procedure and individual progress
- Day 1–2
Acute Phase - Early Mobilisation
Physiotherapist-assisted sitting, standing, and initial weight-bearing with support. Breathing exercises and ankle pumps to prevent DVT.
- Week 1–2
Ward & Discharge Phase
Supervised walking with frame or crutches. Range-of-motion exercises, wound monitoring, and patient education on home precautions.
- Week 3–6
Early Strengthening
Progressive lower-limb strengthening, balance training, and transition to walking unaided on level surfaces. Stair climbing introduced as tolerated.
- Week 6–12
Functional Recovery
Higher-level functional exercises, endurance work, and return-to-daily-activity goals. Driving and return to sedentary work typically assessed at this stage.
- Month 3–6
Long-Term Consolidation
Activity-specific conditioning, ongoing strength maintenance, and final clearance for recreational activities or physically demanding work.
