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.
