Introduction
Surgery is only the first step toward regaining mobility and a pain-free life. The real journey begins with physiotherapy, which plays a crucial role in restoring movement, strength, and confidence. In India, orthopedic recovery programs are designed to provide holistic care, combining medical expertise with physiotherapy and rehabilitation.
At Orthotourism, we ensure that every international patient receives personalized physiotherapy plans to maximize recovery after orthopedic surgery.

A patient from Canada underwent total knee replacement in India with Orthotourism’s guidance. Within just two weeks of physiotherapy, they regained flexibility and could walk short distances without support. After three months, they were back to enjoying long walks pain-free.
