Post-surgery rehabilitation in Dubai. Surgeon-coordinated. Procedure-specific. Home or clinic.

Typically within 24–72 hours of discharge for most orthopaedic procedures. Early initiation produces meaningfully better outcomes than waiting. Your operating surgeon's specific protocol determines the exact timing — some procedures have early restrictions, others encourage immediate early-phase work. WhatsApp your surgical report to +971 55 586 7466 and we will confirm the appropriate timing for your specific procedure.

Yes — approximately 40% of our post-surgical patients had surgery internationally. We coordinate directly with surgeons in the UK, India, Germany, USA, Lebanon, Egypt, and other countries. The process: we obtain your post-operative report, contact your surgeon with your written consent, share our planned approach, and maintain ongoing communication throughout your rehabilitation. Most international surgeons respond well — they want their surgical work to succeed.

Yes — home physiotherapy is one of our most-utilised post-surgical services. Particularly common in the first 2-4 weeks when travel is difficult. Our DPT-qualified physiotherapists travel to your home across Dubai including JVC, JVT, Al Barsha South, Sports City, Motor City, Arjan, Dubai Hills, Marina, Downtown, Palm Jumeirah, Mirdif, and surrounding areas. Home sessions are AED 450 including therapist travel time. Many patients transition from home sessions to clinic visits around week 3-6 as their mobility improves.

Typically 4-6 months for total knee replacement with 30-40 sessions across the programme. Phase 1 (weeks 0-2) often home-based. Phases 2-3 (weeks 2-16) typically clinic-based with 2-3 sessions weekly initially, reducing to weekly. Phase 4-5 (months 4-6) typically weekly or bi-weekly. Some patients with bilateral knee replacement or complex revisions need extended programmes.

Typically 3-4 months for total hip replacement with 24-30 sessions. Slightly faster than knee replacement on average. Different protocols for posterior, anterolateral, and anterior surgical approaches — your surgeon's approach determines specific precautions. Home physiotherapy typically for the first 2-3 weeks, then transition to clinic.

Typical timeline is 9-12 months from surgery to full return to cutting sports. This is genuinely the time needed — early return is the leading cause of re-injury. Our ACL programme follows evidence-based phases: early protection (0-6 weeks), strengthening (6-12 weeks), neuromuscular control (3-6 months), return-to-sport phase (6-12 months) with objective testing before clearance.

We do not recommend split-clinic rehabilitation for post-surgical patients. Effective post-surgical care requires consistent protocol application, same-therapist continuity, integrated progress documentation, and surgeon coordination through one channel. Patients who split rehabilitation across multiple clinics consistently have worse outcomes. We can review your rehabilitation if you are considering switching from another provider.

We work with patients across the complexity spectrum. Patients with surgical complications (infection, hardware issues, delayed healing, revision surgery) often have longer rehabilitation timelines and require more careful protocol application. Coordination with your surgeon is even more important in these cases. We are honest about realistic timelines — patients with complications often need 50-100% longer rehabilitation than uncomplicated cases.

Generally well — better than most physiotherapy categories. Pre-authorisation is often required for programmes beyond 10-15 initial sessions. Our team handles pre-authorisation on your behalf. Direct-billing with seven major insurers. Bring your surgical report and insurance card to your initial consultation; WhatsApp the same to +971 55 586 7466 before booking to confirm exact coverage.

Yes — elderly post-surgical rehabilitation is one of our specialised areas. Home physiotherapy is particularly valuable for elderly patients who find clinic travel exhausting or unsafe. Our therapists are experienced in working with elderly post-surgical patients (joint replacements being the most common). Family involvement is welcomed throughout.

Our clinic is at Jumeirah Village Circle (JVC), Dubai — walking distance from Circle Mall, three minutes from FIVE Jumeirah Village Hotel, and five minutes from JSS Private School. Free patient parking. Easy access from Sheikh Mohammed Bin Zayed Road and Al Khail Road. Patients travel to us from across Dubai. Home physiotherapy available across Dubai for early-phase recovery.

We provide post-mastectomy and oncology surgery rehabilitation with sensitivity to the specific clinical needs. This includes lymphedema management, shoulder mobility restoration, scar management, and broader functional rehabilitation. Coordination with your oncology team is essential. Particularly important for breast cancer patients in their early post-treatment phase.

Yes — post-bariatric surgery patients often benefit from structured rehabilitation including mobility restoration, functional capacity building, exercise prescription appropriate to changing body composition, and long-term activity programmes. We coordinate with your bariatric surgery team for specific protocols.

Some flexibility is possible but post-surgical rehabilitation has time-sensitive windows. Major delays (more than 2-3 weeks at critical phases) can compromise outcomes. We work with patients who have temporary travel or work commitments to maintain programme momentum through home exercise compliance, modified scheduling, or temporary intensity reduction. Discuss any planned absences at initial consultation so we can plan appropriately.

We can suggest surgeons we have worked with extensively if you need second opinions or are considering surgical revision. We do not have referral arrangements — our suggestions are based on clinical reputation and our experience coordinating with their teams. The decision about your surgeon is always yours.

Common situation — patients with decades-old surgical procedures (old knee replacements, old spinal surgeries, old joint procedures) often develop new symptoms or movement patterns related to the old surgery. We can assess your specific situation, identify whether rehabilitation can address your current symptoms, and coordinate with appropriate specialists if your situation requires further surgical or medical input.

For surgical procedures with documented functional impact — breast reduction, major abdominal procedures, post-liposuction lymphatic drainage, post-cosmetic-surgery scar management — we provide appropriate rehabilitation. Pure cosmetic recovery without functional impact may not require formal physiotherapy.

For specific procedures and patient situations, integrated care can be valuable. Post-surgical patients sometimes benefit from Integrated Ayurveda support for: chronic pain that persists after surgical recovery, systemic recovery support (energy, sleep, mood during recovery), addressing patterns that may have contributed to the need for surgery, and post-cardiac surgery recovery support. Integration is offered when clinically appropriate. Most post-surgical patients receive standalone physiotherapy only.

Yes for some patients. Most patients transition from home to clinic sessions around weeks 3-6 as mobility improves — the clinic environment provides better equipment access for later-phase strengthening and rehabilitation. However, some patients (elderly, those with limited transportation, patient preference) continue home physiotherapy throughout. The trade-off: clinic-based later-phase rehab typically has better equipment access; home-based is more convenient. We discuss the trade-offs at consultation.
