Why do you need rehabilitation after orthopaedic surgery?
One of the most important factors for a speedy and full recovery after joint replacement or ligament surgery is proper rehabilitation. Therefore, after being discharged from the clinic it is highly recommended to undergo a physiotherapy course in one of the best rehabilitation centres abroad while your recover from your surgery under the cross-border directive.

Rehabilitation helps you recover after surgery as well as prevents formation of blood clots and helps avoid most of the postoperative complications and side effects.
An individual rehabilitation program is tailored to each patient depending on the type of surgery, general patient‘s well-being, health status and other relevant factors.
During the recovery period a patient would travel from their accommodation to the rehabilitation centre using Healthcare Abroads dedicated patient carer/drivers usually twice a day for two 45 minute physiotherapy sessions.
