What Is Orthopedic Rehabilitation?

Orthopedic rehabilitation — also called orthopaedic rehabilitation — is physiotherapy for recovery after injuries or surgeries involving your bones, joints, spine, muscles, and surrounding tissues.

At At Ease Physio in South Surrey, orthopedic rehabilitation supports people recovering from concerns such as:

Fractures and osteoporosis-related fractures
Spinal fractures and spine-related injuries
Joint injuries affecting areas such as the hip, knee, shoulder, or back
Joint replacement surgery, including hip and knee replacement
Other orthopedic surgeries where physiotherapy is part of the recovery plan

The goal is not to rush your recovery. Your physiotherapist helps you progress at a pace that respects your healing stage, medical precautions, pain levels, and personal goals.

How We Support Your Recovery

Orthopedic rehab may include education, gentle mobility work, hands-on treatment, balance training, strengthening, walking and stair practice, and functional retraining for daily activities. When appropriate, you may also receive home exercises to support progress between visits.

If you have surgical instructions, discharge notes, imaging reports, or a post-operative protocol, bring them to your first appointment. We use those details to guide your rehab progression and coordinate with the advice you received from your broader care team.

For patients recovering from osteoporosis-related fractures or other bone health concerns, care may also include strategies to rebuild confidence, improve balance, strengthen safely, and reduce fear around movement.

Who Provides This Care?

Michaela Toffoli commonly supports orthopedic rehabilitation clients, with Megan Davis also available for post-surgical and injury rehabilitation. Both provide individualized physiotherapy care that considers your body, your goals, and the instructions from your care team.

If your doctor, nurse practitioner, nurse, surgeon, or care team recommended physiotherapy, you can book an assessment and bring any referral information with you. If you have questions about whether your timing or precautions are appropriate for physiotherapy, contact us before booking or confirm with your medical provider.

How It Helps

Safe, Gradual Progress

Rehab progresses at the right pace for your healing stage, precautions, pain levels, and goals.

Strength and Mobility

Targeted treatment helps restore joint movement, muscle strength, and confidence after injury or surgery.

Walking, Stairs, and Transfers

Functional rehab focuses on everyday movements like walking, stairs, and getting in and out of chairs or bed.

Bone Health Support

Care for osteoporosis-related fractures can include balance, strength, and confidence-building strategies.

Post-Surgical Guidance

When you have surgical instructions or a post-operative protocol, we use them to guide your rehab progression.

Individualized Home Exercises

When appropriate, you receive home exercises that match your healing stage, precautions, and daily life.

Frequently Asked Questions

You do not always need a referral to book physiotherapy, but referrals are welcome. If your doctor, nurse practitioner, nurse, surgeon, or care team recommended physiotherapy, please bring any referral notes or instructions to your first visit.

Timing depends on your injury, surgery, healing stage, and medical precautions. If you have been told to begin physiotherapy or have been medically cleared to start, we can help guide your next steps. If you are unsure, contact your surgeon, physician, nurse practitioner, or care team before booking.

Please bring any referral documents, imaging reports, discharge instructions, surgical notes, or post-operative protocols you have. These details help your physiotherapist understand your precautions and plan safe rehab progression.

Yes. Physiotherapy after joint replacement surgery, including hip and knee replacement, can help with mobility, strength, walking, stairs, transfers, swelling management, confidence, and return to daily activities. Your program is adapted to your surgical instructions and recovery stage.

Physiotherapy is not a substitute for urgent medical assessment. If you have new or worsening severe pain, sudden swelling, shortness of breath, chest pain, fever, signs of infection, new numbness or weakness, concerns about your surgical site, or a possible new fracture, contact your surgeon, doctor, care team, or seek urgent medical care before physiotherapy.
