Physiotherapy

Short answer: Physiotherapy uses targeted exercises, manual therapy and rehabilitation planning to relieve pain, restore movement and strengthen joints and muscles — before surgery, after it, or instead of it.

Type
Non-surgical, exercise and movement-based therapy
Common uses
Knee, shoulder and back pain, arthritis, post-surgical recovery, sports injuries
Sessions
Guided by a structured, condition-specific programme
Coordination
Planned alongside Dr. Vishal I. Murkute's clinical assessment
Goal
Reduced pain, restored strength and safe return to daily activity or sport

Overview

Physiotherapy is a structured programme of exercises, stretches and hands-on techniques designed to reduce pain, improve flexibility and rebuild strength around an injured or recovering joint.

It is used both as a stand-alone treatment for many joint and back conditions and as an essential part of recovery after orthopaedic surgery such as joint replacement, arthroscopy or ACL reconstruction.

Who It Is For

  • Patients with knee, shoulder, back or other joint pain being managed without surgery
  • Patients recovering after joint replacement, arthroscopy, ACL reconstruction or fracture treatment
  • Athletes and active individuals rehabilitating a sports injury
  • Patients with arthritis or stiffness looking to improve mobility and function

Preparation

A physiotherapy plan follows Dr. Vishal I. Murkute's clinical assessment and diagnosis, so the exercises target the specific joint, injury or surgery involved rather than a generic routine.

Procedure / How It Works

  • Assessment of pain, movement range, strength and functional limitation
  • A staged exercise programme — starting gently and progressing as healing allows
  • Manual therapy and guided stretching where appropriate
  • Post-surgical rehabilitation protocols specific to joint replacement, arthroscopy or fracture care
  • Progress reviewed and the programme adjusted at follow-up

Recovery

Consistency matters more than intensity — patients who follow their physiotherapy programme regularly generally recover faster and regain more complete function, whether after surgery or for a non-surgical condition.

Aftercare

  • Continue prescribed home exercises between sessions
  • Report increasing pain, swelling or new symptoms during rehabilitation
  • Progress activity gradually rather than resuming full load too soon
  • Attend scheduled follow-up to adjust the programme as you improve

Risks / Possible Complications

  • Discomfort during early sessions as stiff or weak areas are mobilised
  • Slower progress if exercises are done inconsistently

Expected Outcomes

Most patients see steady improvement in pain, movement and strength with a structured, well-followed physiotherapy programme. Outcomes depend on the underlying condition, its severity and adherence to the plan.

Cost Factors

Cost depends on the condition being treated, the number of sessions required and whether physiotherapy follows surgery or is a stand-alone treatment.

The clinic explains the recommended programme and its cost before you begin. There are no hidden charges.

Questions patients ask

  • What conditions does physiotherapy treat?

    Physiotherapy helps with knee, shoulder and back pain, arthritis, sports injuries, and recovery after orthopaedic surgery such as joint replacement, arthroscopy or fracture treatment.

  • Is physiotherapy needed after joint replacement or ACL surgery?

    Yes, structured physiotherapy is an essential part of recovery after joint replacement, arthroscopy and ACL reconstruction to restore strength and range of motion.

  • Can physiotherapy help avoid surgery?

    For many conditions — such as early arthritis, mild ligament injuries and some back pain — physiotherapy can relieve symptoms enough that surgery is not needed. Your surgeon will advise if your condition needs surgical treatment.

  • How long does a physiotherapy programme take?

    Duration varies by condition and severity, ranging from a few weeks for mild issues to several months after major surgery. Your plan will be reviewed and adjusted at follow-up visits.
