Start by knowing your restrictions.
We go through your diagnosis, procedure and written instructions: how much weight the limb may take, which movements to avoid and when to use a brace, sling or cast.

Orthopaedic Care
Recovery is not a race. It is a plan.
Orthopaedic rehabilitation helps you work towards better movement, strength and everyday function after a bone, joint or soft-tissue injury or operation. It starts with understanding what your surgeon or hospital team has asked you to do, and what you want to get back to.
At Munaza Physio Studio, a female physiotherapist assesses where you are now, turns your team’s restrictions into a practical plan, and adjusts it as you heal. There are no fixed weeks and no guarantees, only a clear next step.
Dr. Munaza Ghani · Women-only physiotherapy
Your recovery, one safe stepat a time.
Scroll to follow an illustrative recovery: protected rest, standing with support, walking with a stick, then walking on your own. Everyone’s pace is different and your surgeon’s instructions come first.
Standing and moving, with support.
Once your team allows it, we practise safe transfers and standing, and use your prescribed aids correctly. Movement is gentle and matched to how you feel.
Less support, more strength.
As healing allows, strengthening, balance and walking practice build up, and walking aids are reduced only when you have been cleared to do so.
Back to the tasks that matter.
We work towards the goals you chose, such as stairs, errands, prayer, work or hobbies, and agree how to keep going on your own, with review when you need it.
- Follows your surgeon’s plan
- Private, women-only
- Clinic or home visits

What we treat
Different starting points. Individual care.
Your injury or operation decides what is safe to do. Your assessment matches the plan to you, and it always follows your treating team’s instructions.
After joint replacement
Work towards daily movement and function after hip, knee or shoulder replacement, following your hospital plan.
After a fracture or cast
Address stiffness and reduced function once your team allows it. A removed cast does not mean unrestricted loading.
After ligament surgery
Follow the surgeon’s brace and loading instructions as strength and tasks are built up for your specific procedure.
After tendon repair
Protect the repair, then restore movement and strength in the stages your surgeon sets.
Soft-tissue injuries
Sprains and strains that need a structured plan to rebuild strength and confidence.
Stiffness after immobilisation
Regaining movement and function in a joint that has been protected for some time.
Surgery recovery
After a joint replacementHip, knee or shoulder.
Rehabilitation after a joint replacement helps you work towards walking, moving and caring for yourself again. Each procedure has its own precautions, so your hospital plan is where we start.
How it may feel
- Soreness, swelling and stiffness around the new joint
- Tiredness and low confidence when moving
- Uncertainty about what you can safely do
- Needing help with dressing, stairs or getting in and out of bed or a chair
Common causes
- The operation itself and the healing that follows
- Muscles that were weak or stiff before surgery
- Fear of overdoing it, which can make you move less
How physio helps
- Going through your hospital plan and precautions in plain words
- Practising safe transfers, standing and walking with the aid you were given
- Gentle movement and strengthening as your team allows
- Advice on pacing, swelling and daily tasks at home
- Agreeing goals and reviewing progress together
TipBring your discharge summary, any written restrictions and your walking aid to the first visit.
Get urgent medical care if you have
- Chest pain or breathlessness
- New pain and swelling in one calf or thigh, especially with warmth or redness
- Fever, or a wound that is red, swollen or leaking
- A limb that becomes cold, pale or blue
Injury recovery
After a fracture or castGetting movement back.
A fracture needs time and protection to heal. Once your team allows more movement, stiffness, weakness and worry about using the limb are common, and a guided plan can help you rebuild.
How it may feel
- A stiff joint above or below where the cast or brace was
- A thinner, weaker limb
- Swelling that builds through the day
- Hesitation to put weight on the limb or use it normally
Common causes
- The period of protection while the bone heals
- Fewer everyday movements and less muscle use
- Not knowing how much is safe
How physio helps
- Checking what your fracture team has cleared you to do
- Gentle range-of-movement work for stiff joints
- Strengthening and function practice as healing allows
- Advice on swelling, walking aids and getting back to daily tasks
- A staged return to loading when your team says it is safe
TipCast removal alone does not mean a bone is ready for full weight or heavy use. Wait for your team’s clearance.
Get urgent medical care if
- Your toes or fingers become cold, pale or blue
- There is severe or escalating pain, numbness or loss of movement, especially in a cast
- You think the limb has moved out of position or you cannot move it
- You have a fever or feel unwell with a hot, swollen limb
Surgery recovery
After ligament or tendon surgeryProtect first, then rebuild.
A repaired ligament or tendon must be protected while it heals, then loaded gradually. The order and timing come from your surgeon’s protocol for your specific procedure, not from a general schedule.
How it may feel
- Pain and swelling around the repair
- Stiffness and weakness in the limb
- Fear of moving in case something is damaged
- A brace, sling or boot to manage
Common causes
- The surgery and the protection the repair needs
- Reduced use of the limb for a period
- Differences between procedures, which need different plans
How physio helps
- Explaining your surgeon’s protocol and the reasons behind each stage
- Teaching brace, sling or boot use and safe daily routines
- Restoring movement and strength in the order your surgeon sets
- Practising the tasks and sport you want to return to, when cleared
- Reviewing progress and talking to your team when the plan needs to change
TipKeep your scheduled healing reviews. They are how your team decides when you can move on to the next stage.
Why recovery differs
Six things that shapeyour recovery.
Your procedure or injury
A shoulder repair and a knee replacement need different precautions, loading and exercises.
ProcedureWhere you are in healing
Bone and soft tissue heal at their own pace, so what is safe changes as you progress.
HealingPain and swelling
They affect how well you can move and rest, and they guide how fast the plan progresses.
SymptomsStrength and confidence
Weakness and worry can slow you down, even when the tissue is healing well.
FunctionYour health and medicines
Other conditions, pregnancy and medicines all affect what is right for you.
Whole personHome and work demands
Stairs, family care, prayer positions and work all shape the goals of your plan.
Daily lifeSCROLL FOR THE ASSESSMENT TO FIND YOUR ROOT CAUSE
Why rehabilitation helps
Healing needsa plan.
Time heals tissue, but it does not rebuild strength, movement or confidence on its own. A physiotherapist turns your team’s instructions into daily steps, adjusts them as you heal, and tells you when to ask your surgeon.

Know your three instructions
Ask your team in writing about loading (how much weight), movement (what to avoid) and protection (brace, sling or cast).
Keep your aid and brace
Use the walking aid or brace you were given until your team changes the instruction.
Note how you respond
Write down which task you practised and how it felt afterwards, and any change in swelling or pain.
Keep your route clear
Clear rugs and clutter at home, and ask for help when you need it.
Do not start a general exercise programme without checking your restrictions. If symptoms worsen, contact your treating team.

Questions
Before you book.
What is orthopaedic rehabilitation?+
It is assessment-led rehabilitation for problems affecting bones, joints, muscles and related tissues, including recovery after injury or surgery. A plan combines education, appropriate movement, strengthening and everyday task practice.
When can I start after surgery or a fracture?+
Follow your hospital or surgeon’s instructions. Rehabilitation may start in hospital, but loading, movement and brace restrictions depend on the procedure and healing. Bring your discharge plan; do not start a general exercise programme without checking your restrictions.
Do I need supervised physiotherapy?+
Some people manage well with a prescribed home plan and a contact for advice. Individual or group support may be appropriate if daily tasks remain difficult, you have specific rehabilitation needs, or your home plan is not meeting your goals.
Can I put weight on my injured leg?+
Only as allowed by your treating team. Non-weight-bearing, partial loading and full loading are different instructions. If the instruction is unclear, ask your surgeon or physiotherapist before practising standing or walking.
How long will recovery take?+
There is no single timetable. Your injury, operation, tissue healing, health and daily demands affect progress. Reviews consider useful movement, strength and daily function, alongside the treating team’s milestones.
Should exercise hurt?+
Your physiotherapist should explain the response expected for your specific condition. Do not force a painful movement or work through new sharp pain, increasing swelling, numbness or weakness. Warning signs of a clot, infection or circulation problem need medical assessment.
What should I bring to my appointment?+
Bring your discharge summary, operation or fracture details, written restrictions, relevant reports and a medication list. Bring your prescribed brace or walking aid and tell us which daily tasks you want to improve.
Can women see a female physiotherapist in Lahore?+
Women can request a private assessment at Munaza Physio Studio in Lahore. Contact the studio to confirm appointment availability and access needs. A routine physiotherapy visit cannot replace urgent hospital care.
Safety first
Some symptoms need medical care first.
A possible clot needs urgent assessment: New one-sided calf or thigh pain and swelling need urgent medical assessment, especially after surgery or reduced mobility. Do not massage the leg or wait for a routine physiotherapy visit.
Contact your surgical team promptly: Fever, feeling unwell, wound discharge, or increasing redness, swelling and pain around a surgical wound may signal infection. Ask for urgent medical advice; exercise is not a treatment for these.
- Chest pain or breathlessness, especially with new leg pain or swelling
- A limb or toes becoming cold, pale or blue
- Severe, escalating pain with new numbness or loss of movement, especially in a cast
- A wound that is red, swollen, hot or leaking, with a fever
- A limb that looks out of position after a fall
