04Post-surgical care

Rehabilitation that respects the surgeon's timeline — and yours.

Staged rehabilitation after orthopaedic surgery, moving in step with your surgeon's protocol and your own recovery.

01Overview

After orthopaedic surgery the tissue heals on its own schedule, and rehabilitation has to move with it. Too cautious and you lose range and strength you will have to fight to get back; too eager and you put the repair at risk.

We work to your surgeon's protocol, then adapt within it to what your body is actually doing week to week.

Commonly treated
  • Knee replacement and hip replacement
  • ACL and other ligament reconstruction
  • Arthroscopic knee and hip surgery
  • Rotator cuff and shoulder repairs
  • Ankle and foot surgery
  • Spinal surgery, with medical clearance
02The approach

How we work through it, stage by stage.

  • 01Protect

    The early weeks

    Swelling control, safe range of movement and reactivating muscles that switch off after surgery — all within your protocol's limits.

  • 02Restore

    Range and strength

    Progressive loading as restrictions lift, closing the gap between the operated side and the other one.

  • 03Return

    Back to normal life

    Work, driving, sport and the things you actually missed — reintroduced in a sensible order, with criteria for each.

03Questions

The things people ask before booking.

  • Often within days of surgery, and sometimes before it. Ask your surgeon for their protocol and bring it to the first appointment.
