Post-Surgical Rehab in Burnaby

After surgery, the next steps can feel uncertain. Phoenix Rehab helps you follow your surgeon's guidance, rebuild movement gradually, and progress at a pace matched to your procedure and goals.

Rehab That Works With Your Surgical Plan

Post-surgical rehab depends on the procedure, tissue healing, medical restrictions, and your surgeon's protocol. Some patients need help with walking and basic mobility; others need a longer plan for strength, work, sport, or daily independence.

At Phoenix Rehab in Burnaby, physiotherapy and kinesiology lead the post-surgical rehab pathway. Your plan should work with your surgeon or physician's instructions, not replace them.

Restoring comfortable movement after surgery
Rebuilding strength, balance, and activity tolerance
Improving walking, stairs, lifting, or daily function

Post-Surgical Rehab FAQs

When should I start rehab after surgery?
Timing depends on your procedure and surgeon's instructions. Some patients start gentle rehab early, while others need to wait. Bring your post-operative instructions so your practitioner can match the plan to your restrictions.
Do you replace my surgeon's follow-up?
No. Rehab supports your recovery plan but does not replace surgical follow-up, medical monitoring, or physician instructions.
What should I bring to my first appointment?
Bring any surgical notes, restrictions, imaging reports, brace instructions, weight-bearing instructions, and your goals for daily activity, work, or sport.
What if pain, swelling, or symptoms suddenly get worse?
Sudden severe pain, major swelling, fever, wound concerns, calf pain, shortness of breath, chest pain, or other urgent symptoms should be directed to your surgeon, physician, urgent care, or emergency services.
