Post-surgical physiotherapy and rehabilitation through Royal Medical Prague is designed for patients recovering from hip and knee replacement surgery at the clinic's partner orthopaedic facility, with specialists Mario Bertoli M.D. and Vladislav Hospodar M.D. — both rated among Europe's top orthopaedic surgeons — overseeing both the surgical and rehabilitation phases. The 10-day minimum rehabilitation programme begins on the third to fourth day post-operatively and covers pain management, progressive range-of-motion restoration, quadriceps and hip-muscle strengthening, and functional mobility training (walking, stair climbing, transfer from bed/chair). Conducting rehabilitation on-site at the same facility as surgery eliminates the risk of complications from early patient transfer and delivers a medically continuous recovery experience.
About this treatment
Post-operative rehabilitation through Royal Medical Prague is structured specifically to follow hip arthroplasty (total hip replacement) and knee arthroplasty (total knee replacement) — both available through the same Royal Medical orthopaedic network at approximately €9,500 per joint, with rehabilitation available as an integrated component of the patient's Prague stay.
Surgeons Mario Bertoli M.D. and Vladislav Hospodar M.D. oversee both the surgical procedure and the rehabilitation phase, providing clinical continuity that is difficult to achieve when surgery and rehabilitation are performed in separate facilities in different countries. Implant systems used include Zimmer Biomet and Smith & Nephew — two of the global leaders in total joint replacement technology — with monolithic, modular, and cementless fixation…
The rehabilitation programme begins on day three to four post-operatively, once initial post-anaesthetic stabilisation is complete and the patient is medically ready for mobilisation. The programme is individually structured based on the patient's pre-operative functional status, the specific implant system and approach used, and the surgeon's intraoperative findings. Typical components include:

Who is this for?
International patients who have undergone hip or knee replacement at the Royal Medical partner facility and require medically supervised on-site rehabilitation before flying home
Preparation required
Rehabilitation is coordinated by Royal Medical alongside the joint replacement surgery booking — no separate arrangement needed. Inform the coordinator of any pre-existing conditions that may affect mobilisation (contralateral limb weakness, neurological conditions, significant obesity) so the physiotherapy programme can be adjusted before arrival.
