Read the latest helpful insights and practical tips from our expert physiotherapists to help you move better and feel stronger
Discharged Doesn’t Mean Done
When clients are discharged from hospital after a hip or knee surgery, it’s natural to feel a mix of relief and uncertainty. While the operation might be over, true recovery starts at home—and in the gym. At our All Care Central Rehab, we offer physio-led rehabilitation in a controlled gym environment to ensure your recovery stays on track.
Why Hospital Readmissions Happen
Many post-surgical readmissions occur because of:
Inadequate rehabilitation
Joint stiffness or falls
Infection due to immobility
Poor strength and balance
Muscle atrophy from inactivity
These risks are heightened when clients attempt to recover with limited or no guidance.
Bridging the Gap with Physio-Guided Rehab
Our physio gym in Brisbane provides the perfect transition between hospital discharge and independent living. Each client follows a personalised exercise program created by a physiotherapist who understands their surgery, pain levels, and limitations.
With ongoing supervision, we can:
Spot early warning signs of complications
Adjust exercise intensity safely
Encourage correct movement patterns
Prevent overloading healing tissues
The Evidence Is Clear: Active Rehab Prevents Readmissions
Several clinical studies have shown that structured physiotherapy post-surgery can reduce the rate of hospital readmissions by up to 30%. Clients who engage in ongoing, supervised rehab are less likely to experience complications like:
Blood clots
Joint infections
Falls due to poor balance
Delayed wound healing
Why Gym-Based Rehab Beats At-Home Exercise Alone
While at-home exercises are a key part of recovery, they can’t replace the benefits of a fully equipped physio gym:
Access to specialised equipment
Objective performance tracking
Peer support and motivation
Immediate feedback from qualified physios
Results based on research to help improve muscle function and balance to improve your lifestyle
Plus, accountability keeps clients consistent and committed to recovery.
