After surgery

Physiotherapy after surgery
Successful rehabilitation goes through several stages and requires good strength, stability and control to regain optimal function in daily life. As soon as you can start rehabilitation, we would like to see you in our practice as soon as possible to develop the rehabilitation plan together. If a visit to the practice is not yet possible, we will first offer support at your home.
After surgery, every recovery process is unique. At Fysio Fitaal, we therefore create a personalised rehabilitation plan that exactly matches your unique needs and goals. You are the key player in this process and take charge of your own recovery, while we support you with our expertise and guidance.
Throughout your rehabilitation, we closely monitor your progress through regular measurements and evaluations. This ensures that the rehabilitation programme adapts to your progress and that you always get the right exercises at the right time. By actively involving you and encouraging your commitment, we not only help you become physically stronger, but also build confidence in your body.
Benefits of a quick start after physiotherapy surgery
Immediately after surgery is a critical period that greatly affects the success of your recovery. By starting physiotherapy right from day one, you actively work on regaining your functions and minimise the risk of complications such as stiffness, muscle loss and adhesions due to scar tissue. At Fysio Fitaal, we support you from the start with a personal rehabilitation plan specifically tailored to your surgery and goals.
A quick start to physiotherapy is crucial to control pain and swelling, keep your joints flexible and your muscles active. This helps your body stay strong and prevents long-term restrictions in your movements. We also reduce the risk of complications such as thrombosis, muscle weakness and teach you how to move responsibly with your injury.
Structured rehabilitation with measurable results at Physio Fitaal
At Fysio Fitaal, we believe that successful rehabilitation starts with a good understanding of your symptoms and measurable progress. Therefore, we develop a tailor-made rehabilitation plan that we fine-tune to your specific recovery needs.
We continuously monitor your progress through assessments and measurements, such as strength measurements, movement analyses and functional tests. This data allows us to determine the right exercises and intensity that are best for you at that moment. In this way, we guarantee safe steps forward, without the risk of overtraining.
As strength increases, the focus shifts to building strength, stability and functionality, allowing you to return to your daily activities without too much effort. For athletes, the final phase of rehabilitation focuses on specifically preparing you to return to sport, with sports-specific testing and exercises that minimise the risk of injury recurrence.
This personal and data-driven approach ensures that you not only recover quickly, but also get stronger in the long term. Do you want structured and effective rehabilitation that is truly tailored to your needs? Then get in touch with Physio Fitaal and let us help you get back to optimal exercise!
What does the health insurer reimburse?
Physiotherapy after surgery is reimbursed only if this condition is on the chronic list of physiotherapy. For example, surgery as a result of a bone fracture or after surgery on your knee, for example repairing your anterior cruciate ligament or fitting a knee prosthesis. You also need a referral from the doctor or GP. You also always pay the deductible. However, this is often already consumed due to the cost of the surgery. What else is important to know:
- The authorisation runs for a maximum of 12 months after the start of rehabilitation(the first physiotherapy treatment)
- The insurer will reimburse all costs from the 21st treatment onwards
- The first 20 treatments come out of your supplementary package as far as possible
- If not sufficient, these treatments are at your own expense
