Helping children move forward after surgery

Helping children move forward after surgery.

Post-surgical rehabilitation refers to the specialised care and support provided to children following an operation. Common procedures include correction of clubfoot (Talipes), surgery for developmental dysplasia of the hip (DDH), scoliosis surgery, fracture repairs, tendon lengthening, osteotomies, arthrodesis, and brachial plexus repair. At PaedsPhysio, we offer experienced, family-friendly physiotherapy for children recovering from these and other surgeries. We tailor our rehabilitation plans to each child’s goals and abilities. Our aim is to reduce pain and stiffness, support safe movement, improve strength and confidence, and help families feel informed and involved throughout recovery.
