Post-Operative Rehabilitation

Post-operative rehabilitation is a structured intervention that begins after surgery. It focuses on reducing pain and swelling, restoring joint mobility, rebuilding strength, and improving overall function. A carefully guided rehabilitation plan helps ensure optimal healing and reduces the risk of post-operative complications.

How Physiotherapy Helps After Surgery?

Following surgery, our physiotherapists work closely with your surgeon to ensure your rehabilitation progresses at the appropriate rate following your procedure. Physiotherapy can help by:

• Managing pain and swelling

• Restoring joint range of motion and muscle length

• Regain neuromuscular control and movement patterns

• Rebuilding muscle strength and endurance

• Improving balance and coordination

• Promoting safe and gradual return to activity

Conditions and Surgeries We Commonly Treat

We provide rehabilitation for a wide range of post-surgical procedures, including:

• Knee surgeries (ACL reconstruction, meniscus repair, total knee replacement)

• Shoulder surgeries (rotator cuff repair, stabilisation procedures, reverse total shoulder replacement)

• Hip surgeries (total hip replacement, arthroscopy)

• Ankle and foot surgeries (syndesmosis, stabilisation procedures, achilles tendon repair, ankle fusion or replacement, Lisfranc repair, flat foot reconstruction, bunionectomy and osteotomy)

If you have had surgery and are unsure when to start physiotherapy, our team can guide you through the appropriate timing and process.

Our treatment approach typically includes

• Hands-on manual therapy

• Education and self-management advice

• Targeted exercise rehabilitation

• Movement and biomechanics

• Return to activity and performance programs

• Injury prevention strategies
