Patients are required to follow physical therapy programs, attend physical therapy sessions regularly, and report their problems to physical therapists.
Physiotherapy has 3 benefits

In the post-operative period, patients cannot get up and walk immediately, it takes time for them to be able to do the things they used to do easily in their daily lives. A correct physical therapy helps patients regain this time, return to their former health, walk with their own strength, balance and regain their normal functions.
2. Increasing flexibility: Removing the stiffness in the muscles after lengthening surgeries and providing the flexibility of the joints can only be possible with physical therapy. In this way, the pain that occurs in the body is also reduced, and the body will be able to return to its old functions in a shorter time.
3. Relieve the circulatory system: The healthy functioning of the circulatory system in our body is a situation that includes many factors from our intestinal health to the formation of edema. Being in a lying position all the time causes edema and negatively affects blood circulation. A properly applied physical therapy program not only reduces edema, but also accelerates blood circulation.
