Post-op Rehab – Recovery After Surgery

Your Story:

You’ve had surgery—maybe a joint replacement, ligament repair, or spinal procedure—and now you’re home, wondering what’s next. You’re stiff, sore, and moving cautiously. You’ve been told physiotherapy is important, but you’re not sure what that involves or when to start. You want to get back to walking, driving, working, or just feeling like yourself again.

What’s Going On?

Post-operative physiotherapy is about restoring movement, strength, and confidence after surgery. Whether it’s a planned procedure or a sudden injury, your body needs help to recover safely and fully. The early stages focus on reducing swelling, protecting healing tissue, and regaining range of motion. As you progress, we work on rebuilding strength, balance, and function—tailored to your goals and lifestyle.

Common Conditions We Treat

Knee Replacement

You’re walking with a limp, and your knee feels stiff and swollen. We help you regain mobility, strength, and confidence in walking, stairs, and daily activities.

Hip Replacement

You’re moving slowly and cautiously, worried about dislocation or pain. We guide you through safe movement patterns, muscle reactivation, and gait retraining.

ACL Reconstruction

You’ve had surgery after a sports injury and want to get back to running or training. Rehab focuses on progressive loading, balance, and return-to-sport testing.

Shoulder Surgery (e.g. Rotator Cuff Repair)

You’re in a sling and unsure how much to move. We help you protect the repair, restore range, and rebuild shoulder control step by step.

Spinal Surgery

You’re stiff and guarded, unsure how to move without causing harm. We support you with gentle mobility, core activation, and postural retraining.
