Musculoskeletal and Orthopaedic Rehabilitation

Musculoskeletal and orthopaedic rehabilitation at Mar Sleeva Medicity Palai, Kottayam, supports recovery after fractures, joint replacement, ligament reconstruction, spine surgery and deformity correction, as well as non-surgical conditions such as back pain, neck pain, frozen shoulder and arthritis.

Treatment is tailored to the injury, surgery and stage of healing. A Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation specialist guides pain management, range-of-motion exercises, strength and mobility training, gait rehabilitation, and the appropriate use of braces or walking aids. For non-surgical conditions, rehabilitation may include therapeutic exercises, posture correction, manual techniques and activity modification to improve function and reduce pain.

Musculoskeletal and Orthopaedic Rehabilitation

Rehabilitation planned with the orthopaedic surgeons and delivered by physiotherapy and occupational therapy, from the first days after surgery or injury through to full return to activity.

01

Recovery After Joint Replacement

Movement, strength and walking retraining after knee and hip replacement, started early so the new joint moves freely and the patient regains independence quickly.

02

Fracture and Trauma Rehabilitation

Therapy through the healing period and after cast or fixator removal, restoring joint movement and muscle strength that are always lost during immobilisation.

03

Back and Neck Pain Rehabilitation

Assessment of the cause of pain, followed by core strengthening, posture correction and graded activity, with injections used only where therapy alone is not enough.

04

Sports Injury Rehabilitation

Rehabilitation after ligament, tendon and muscle injuries, progressing from pain control to sport specific training before return to play is cleared.

05

Frozen Shoulder and Soft Tissue Pain

Treatment of frozen shoulder, tennis elbow, plantar fasciitis and similar conditions using therapy, stretching programmes and injections where indicated.

06

Arthritis and Joint Protection

Exercise, weight management advice, joint protection techniques and supports that reduce pain and slow the loss of function in knee, hip and hand arthritis.

07

Rehabilitation After Deformity Correction

Therapy after limb lengthening, deformity correction and reconstructive surgery, timed carefully around the healing of bone and soft tissue.

08

Return to Work and Daily Activity

Assessment of what the patient needs to do at work and at home, with conditioning and workplace advice so the return is sustained rather than followed by reinjury.
