Ducker Physio is the sole physiotherapy provider at Calvary Central Districts Hospital where there are 12 orthopaedic surgeons operating there from various private orthopaedic surgical practices throughout South Australia.
We also have numerous other orthopaedic surgeons refer to us from other hospitals due to our expertise and experience treating a vast array of post-operative conditions that are ever changing with new surgical techniques.
We see you from the time you wake up from your surgery each day until discharge and then the appropriate follow up rehabilitation in our rooms in close conjunction with your surgeon and his protocols. Your progress is closely monitored, managed and progressed appropriately to you as well as within the surgeon’s guidelines. Normal recovery from all surgical procedures is extremely variable person to person due to many factors, hence why progress must be tailored specifically to your recovery.
