\”I Thought Post-Surgery Pain Was Normal — Until Physio Changed Everything”

After my knee surgery, everyone told me the pain would eventually go away. “It\'s normal,” they said. \"Just rest, it\'ll heal.\" So I did. I rested, took the painkillers, and waited. But weeks passed and pain didn\'t — it got worse. Simple things like walking to the kitchen or climbing stairs felt like a battle. My leg was stiff, weak, and swollen. I started to believe maybe this was just how life would be now. A constant, nagging discomfort I’d have to live with. Then a friend suggested physiotherapy. Honestly, I was hesitant. I thought it was just for athletes or people recovering from accidents. But one visit to Care Physiotherapy & Chiropractic Centre in Gulbarga changed everything. The team didn’t just ask about my surgery — they looked at how my body was moving, how I walked, how I held tension in my muscles. They explained that post-surgical pain doesn’t have to be permanent. My muscles had weakened, my joints had stiffened, and my body needed retraining. We began with gentle movement, laser therapy, and exercises to wake up the muscles. I saw small changes in just a few sessions: less pain and more movement. Those little victories gave me more confidence. Not only can I walk without pain today, but I also have strength back that I thought I had lost forever. I learnt that recovery doesn\'t end with surgery; it begins after it. Physiotherapy gave me more than just movement; it gave me my life back.
