Following surgery, the operated area will usually be red, swollen and can be very painful. This is a normal reaction to the incisions and procedures used by surgeons. When the symptoms subside, the healing process starts; there’s a gradual return to the normal functioning of tissues which can be enhanced by post-surgery physiotherapy treatment.
