After surgery or injury, joints often feel stiff.
This happens because swelling, reduced movement, and protective muscle tension limit the range of motion.
Guided movement helps restore flexibility safely.
Physiotherapists use gentle exercises that gradually increase joint motion without placing strain on healing tissues.
As circulation improves, stiffness often reduces.
Avoiding movement completely can make stiffness worse over time.
The right balance between rest and activity supports healing.
If your joint feels tight or restricted, professional guidance can help restore comfortable movement.
