Orthopedic Rehabilitation
Physiotherapy for recovery after fractures, joint injuries, spinal injuries, osteoporosis-related fractures, and joint replacement surgery
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.
