Abstract: Rehabilitation after surgery through physical therapy is an important process that helps patients recover, function better, and achieve better overall outcomes after surgery. Physical therapy not only ensures that a patient gets back to living her life again, but makes sure the recovery is as quick as possible and as painless as possible so the patients can continue with their lives and take care of their affairs. The effects of physical therapy go beyond initial recovery by helping prevent problems later like deep vein thrombosis, joint stiffness, and muscle atrophy through mobility exercises, strength training, and pain management. With a multidisciplinary approach — involving surgeons, physiotherapists, and other healthcare professionals — care is tailored to the individual needs of patients. New technologies like virtual reality-assisted therapy, telerehabilitation as well as wearable devices are continuing to find their way into caregiving to improve the precision, accessibility, and efficiency of care. The collection of these tools tracks patient progress remotely while encouraging active involvement through gamification rehabilitation activities. Early mobilization is a vital factor in speeding up recovery and shortening hospital stays, according to the clinical evidence. Also, physical therapy does benefit psychologically in helping to work through fears and anxieties related to surgery to regain confidence in physical ability afterward. Physical therapy in postoperative care is discussed in this paper from multiple perspectives, including evidence-based practices, patient-centered interventions, and the use of innovative tools in achieving the best outcomes for recovery. The study, therefore, emphasizes the importance of physical therapy to avoid long-term health, functionality, and the satisfaction of patients.
