Rehabilitation
Why do you need rehabilitation after orthopaedic surgery?
One of the most important factors for a quick and full recovery after joint replacement or ligament surgery is proper rehabilitation. Therefore, after being discharged from the clinic it is highly recommended to undergo a physiotherapy course in one of the best rehabilitation centres in Lithuania.
The minimum recommended length of rehabilitation is 4-10 days.
Rehabilitation helps recover after surgery as well as prevents formation of blood clots and helps avoid most of the postoperative complications and side effects.
Outpatient rehabilitation
Outpatient rehabilitation results in 21% higher quality of life after knee replacement surgery as compared to our other option of inpatient rehabilitation. The results are based on the patient survey conducted using internationally acknowledged HOOS/KOOS questionnaires.
The rehabilitation centre is located in Kaunas. It is equipped with modern facilities. It is led by a Professor in kinesitherapy Laimonas Šiupšinskas, who is offering professional rehabilitation to patients after a wide range of orthopaedic surgeries and who is working with Lithuania’s most important national sports teams and has brought many athletes back to professional life after trauma and surgery.
An individual rehabilitation program is tailored to each patient depending on the type of surgery, general patient‘s well-being, health status and other relevant factors.
During the recovery period a patient would travel from their accommodation to the rehabilitation centre every day for one 1 hour physiotherapy session.
