Scar tissue, forming as collagen fibers align randomly, can restrict movement and cause pain if excessive. Gentle, controlled movements under medical supervision encourage flexible scar formation, enhancing long-term recovery. Early rehabilitation focuses on range-of-motion exercises, progressing to targeted strength and flexibility training as healing advances. Addressing pain, swelling, and fear of movement with appropriate care and education supports adherence. Physiotherapists play a vital role in customizing and monitoring recovery exercises to prevent complications. Consistent, correctly performed exercises reduce scar adherence and improve mobility, while any persistent discomfort warrants professional consultation. Tailoring rehabilitation to individual needs optimizes healing and quality of life post-surgery.
