The Critical Role of Post-Surgical Physiotherapy
Surgery is only half the journey. The rehabilitation that follows determines whether you regain full function or plateau with residual weakness, stiffness, or pain. At VPARC in Varanasi, Dr. Prashant Punj has overseen post-operative physiotherapy for hundreds of patients — making VPARC the preferred rehabilitation partner for surgeons across Varanasi.
Post-surgical conditions rehabilitated at VPARC: total knee replacement (TKR), total hip replacement (THR), spinal surgeries (discectomy, laminectomy, fusion), ACL reconstruction, rotator cuff repair, shoulder replacement, Bankart repair, ankle ligament reconstruction, and post-fracture surgeries.
