Post-Arthroscopic Surgery Rehabilitation at Hetal’s Core Physiotherapy, Kalyan

By Dr. Hetal Patel – Certified Physiotherapist

Have you recently undergone arthroscopic surgery for your knee, shoulder, or another joint? Whether it was for ligament repair, cartilage cleanup, rotator cuff repair, or meniscus trimming, physiotherapy is the key to a full and fast recovery. At Hetal’s Core Physiotherapy in Kalyan, Dr. Hetal Patel provides structured, personalized post-arthroscopy rehab programs that help restore joint function, mobility, and strength—so you can return to daily life pain-free and confidently.

What Is Arthroscopic Surgery?

Arthroscopy is a minimally invasive surgical procedure that allows doctors to view, diagnose, and treat joint problems through small incisions using a camera and tiny instruments. Common arthroscopic surgeries include:

• Knee arthroscopy for ACL, meniscus, or cartilage issues

• Shoulder arthroscopy for rotator cuff tears, impingement, or labral repair

• Ankle or hip arthroscopy for ligament or cartilage repair

While the surgery itself is less invasive, the recovery still requires guided rehabilitation to ensure optimal joint movement and strength.

What to Expect During Post-Arthroscopy Rehab

At Hetal’s Core Physiotherapy, Dr. Hetal Patel designs a step-by-step recovery plan based on your specific joint, type of surgery, and recovery goals.

• Pain and swelling management (ice, elevation, electrotherapy)

• Passive and gentle range of motion exercises

• Breathing and circulation exercises

• Use of support devices like braces/crutches if needed

🔹 Phase 2: Mobility & Strength Restoration (Week 2–6)
