After surgical interventions of various kinds, rehabilitation is often necessary aimed at achieving the best possible recovery and returning to normal work, sports and social activities. The indications for rehabilitation treatment are following:

• upper and lower limb prosthetic surgery (hip, knee, elbow, shoulder prosthesis)

• outcomes of fracture reductions

• nerve decompression interventions (carpal tunnel...)

• outcomes of spinal surgery (herniectomies, stabilizations...),

• interventions on the capsulo-ligamentous system (cruciate ligament of the knee, tendons of the rotator cuff of the shoulder...).

The treatment of the scar is also of great importance, to prevent it from disturbing the organism and inducing clinical disorders and postural imbalances.
