Undergoing orthopedic surgery or sustaining a bone fracture is a major physical trauma. Whether you have had bones stabilized with pins and plates, or have just had a cast removed, your muscles will be extremely weak and your joints will be stiff. Surgery repairs the structure, but physical therapy restores the function.
Protocol-Driven Rehabilitation
Post-surgical rehabilitation requires strict adherence to healing timelines. At Viva Physio in Nasr City, our orthopedic rehab programs are supervised by Prof. Dr. Abeer Elwishy. We work in tandem with your orthopedic surgeon's guidelines to ensure your rehabilitation is safe, progressive, and highly effective.
Surgeries & Fractures We Rehabilitate

- Tendon & Ligament Repairs: Progressive loading programs for repaired Achilles tendons, rotator cuffs, or ACLs.
Frequently Asked Questions
When should I start physical therapy after my cast is removed?
You should begin physical therapy almost immediately after your doctor removes your cast or clears you for movement. Your joints will be extremely stiff and your muscles weak; starting early at Viva Physio ensures we break down scar tissue before it hardens.
Will post-operative physical therapy be painful?
Post-operative rehab can involve some discomfort as we stretch stiff joints, but it should never be agonizing. Our experts use advanced modalities like Ultrasound and cryotherapy to manage pain and swelling before and after exercises.
