Physiotherapy at home after surgery in Tilburg.
After surgery such as anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction, cartilage repair or after having a new knee or hip placed, it can be difficult to travel directly to a physical therapy practice. At Fysio Fitaal, we offer specialized physical therapy at home in Tilburg. Our goal is clear: to help you recover safely and effectively in your own familiar surroundings, so you can eventually come to our practice independently for further treatment. This approach offers you the comfort of home and the care of an experienced physical therapist, who will guide you through every step of your rehabilitation.
Physiotherapy at home in Tilburg
When you have just had surgery, it is often too stressful to go directly to the Physical Therapy practice. Especially after procedures such as anterior cruciate ligament surgery, new knee or hip, mobility is limited in the first few weeks. Other complaints we treat at home are cartilage reconstructions and severe bone fractures such as ankle fractures or a fracture of the tibia (lower leg). With our home physical therapy, we offer a solution that allows you to avoid traveling and still get the care and guidance you need. We focus on getting you mobile again step by step so that if possible you can continue rehabilitation at one of our locations in Tilburg.

After surgery such as anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction, cartilage injury or the placement of a new knee or hip, it is essential to start physical therapy soon. The first few weeks after surgery are often the toughest, both physically and mentally. Physiotherapy at home plays an important role in this phase. Our physiotherapists in Tilburg will guide you with a treatment plan specifically tailored to your personal goals. This plan focuses on improving your mobility, strengthening your muscles and reducing pain. By starting exercises at home, you will recover faster and more safely without having to go to the practice.
In recovery after, for example, anterior cruciate ligament surgery or knee replacement, it is crucial to work on strength and stability in a controlled manner. The physical therapist will guide you through this so that you are well prepared for the next phase of your rehabilitation. The goal is that after a few weeks you will be independent enough to come to our practice for further guidance to full recovery.
1. Wound healing
After surgery, it takes an average of 6 weeks for the wound to close completely. There may still be wound fluid coming out of the wound in the first week. This is normal. If necessary, stick a new plaster on the wound if you notice that the edges of the plaster have to absorb too much wound fluid. The sutures used dissolve on their own in most cases. Let us know if the area around the wound turns red or swells. Symptoms such as fever and an unexplained increase in pain should be reported.
2. Running
Good muscle control along with a normal gait pattern are essential for continued rehabilitation. Much attention is paid to this in the home situation. With the help of crutches you will be relieved and can focus on regaining normal gait pattern.
3. Practicing at home
When you meet all the conditions to be able to start loading more we provide muscle strengthening and mobilizing exercises appropriate to your stage of recovery. This way you can continue to work optimally on your recovery!
4. Use of crutches
Phasing out use crutches indoors and outdoors.
Depending on the injury, the use of crutches is completely phased out over a 2-6 week period. Exceptions aside. Now that you can move again without crutches, it's time to take the next step in your rehabilitation.
5. To practice
Our practice is fully equipped for rehabilitation after surgery. We provide a unique and service-oriented environment to ultimately achieve your goals!
Physical therapy at Fysio Fitaal in Tilburg
Our home rehabilitation always focuses on the ultimate goal: getting you mobile again quickly and safely so you can continue rehabilitation in our practice. After surgery such as a new knee, new hip or anterior cruciate ligament repair, it is important to find the right balance between rest and activity. Being active again too soon can lead to complications while too much rest can delay your recovery. The physical therapists at Fysio Fitaal will guide you through this process and make sure you take the right steps towards full recovery.
In the first phase of your rehabilitation we work on improving your mobility and strength. Once you have recovered sufficiently you can transfer to our practice in Tilburg where we further intensify the treatment to allow you to fully recover.
