Service Overview

What this service is designed to solve.

Post-operative rehabilitation needs to respect healing timelines without becoming passive or overly delayed. Early stages often focus on pain, swelling, mobility, gait, and rebuilding confidence with daily activity.

As recovery progresses, treatment shifts toward restoring strength, control, and function for work, exercise, and sport. Regular reassessment helps make sure you are not underloading, overloading, or missing key recovery milestones.

FAQs

Common questions about post-operative care.

These answers cover the questions patients usually ask before starting this pathway, during early treatment, and as they progress toward work, training, or full activity.

When should physiotherapy start after surgery?

That depends on the procedure and your surgeon's guidance, but rehabilitation often begins early with pain, swelling, mobility, and safe movement priorities before progressing to strength and function.

Do you follow a fixed post-operative protocol?

We work within the surgical protocol when needed, but progression is also based on your symptoms, movement quality, healing stage, and objective reassessment.

Can post-operative rehab help me return to full activity?

Yes. The goal is not only recovery from surgery but a staged return to walking, work, exercise, and sport when appropriate.

Is it normal to still have pain or swelling during rehab?

Often yes, especially in earlier phases. What matters is whether symptoms are behaving as expected for your stage of healing and whether progress in movement, strength, and function is continuing.

What if I feel behind my expected recovery timeline?

Recovery is not perfectly linear. If progress stalls, we reassess the likely limiting factors, adjust the plan, and make sure the next stage matches your current tolerance and surgical goals.
