Post-surgery rehabilitation

Physiotherapy
after surgery

Physiotherapy after surgery, also known as post-op rehab, plays a crucial role in maximising the outcome of your surgery. It helps to re-establish strength, mobility, stability and stamina for the swiftest and safest return to independence. Pre-surgery physiotherapy can also be very valuable, strengthening the body and potentially reducing the impact of surgery.

How physiotherapy can help

Physiotherapy after surgery is very important, whether that’s following a knee replacement, fracture repair, surgery to a damaged ligament or something else. With the help of one of our qualified physiotherapists, you can recover faster, more successfully and with greater confidence, whatever your operation.

We also provide support and advice around the specific challenges associated with your surgery and the daily challenges that are unique to you and your lifestyle.

How we work

After surgery, you may be a little nervous about having physiotherapy. We understand this and take time to explain everything to you, so that you can feel more reassured about what’s happening and how your recovery will progress.

Following a full assessment, we design your personalised rehab programme specific to the surgery you have had. The programme is purposeful, targeted at recovery and is adapted as you progress.

Movement is a key part of recovery. Depending on your circumstances and preferences, we can either work with you from our treatment room or in the on-site gym. We start very gently and progress at a rate suited to you, your level of fitness and the surgery you’ve had. If you’d like to try the gym but feel a little daunted by it, don’t worry. Many patients feel like this but very quickly settle in once they try it.

Thank you Ryan for all of your expertise, I don't think that I would have recovered this quickly without your guidance and knowledge.

The best there is. Nick Allen is my physio and he excels in every area. There is nothing he doesn't know about supporting recovery. I snapped a leg muscle and came to Nick hobbling and worried I'd never play sports again. Nick has taken me on a journey of recovery and I'm now at a stage where I'm running and enjoying my life again. Exercises I've been given have been adapted to my needs. The level of detail Nick can go into about my injury, why I couldn't do certain activities, how my muscles worked and through it all, has taught me alot about how my body works. His experience performing physio in multiple sports and at all levels also gives him a great ability to know how hard he can push my recovery. Physix and Nick will be the people I use in the long run. I can't recommend Physix and Nick highly enough.

I saw Nick after having a total hip replacement. My aim was to get my strength back, walk correctly and build muscle. The care received was excellent. Nick is a great personable guy. He designed a personal programme after an initial assessment to align with my goals. i have made a full recovery and now walk properly and continue to build muscle and fitness. I would highly recommend Nick for all things physio, especially rehabilitation.

From the outset my experiences with the team at Physix have been stellar. Nick quickly identified exactly what was needed to get my knee back into full operation again, and allow me to compete at my beloved squash. Throughout our sessions his knowledge and patient approach were second to none, and he constantly encouraged me to challenge myself further. As a result of his tailored methods and insights, my healing has not only been rapid but the whole experience has inspired me to get fit and strengthen the rest of my body too. As a result I feel 20 years younger in just a matter of months and my life has completely changed. I can’t recommend Physix highly enough.

First time with Louise, who I saw with a shoulder injury. She made me feel at ease and went into a lot of detail and certainly put across she knew what she was talking about. She spent the time listening to me without me feeling like I was being rushed. Excellent result and no hesitation in recommending her.

I would heavily recommend Nick to anyone. Nick helped me diagnose a problem that was stopping me running. He helped me navigate which medical procedure would be best and was ready to support recovery at the right time. There were two major things that I loved about Nick’s style. The first was that he makes it measurable so you can see progress. The second is that he tailors the recovery work to your favourite type of exercise so it doesn’t just feel like more stretches. I rapidly recovered from an operation with his support and was able to run more than I ever had. I was even able to fulfil my dream and run my first marathon with Nick’s advice. Thanks Nick.
