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.
