Post-Surgical Rehabilitation

Post-surgical rehabilitation follows protocol while respecting how your particular tissue is healing. It restores range, strength and confidence in the limb or region.

We work to standard protocols for fracture rehabilitation, joint replacement, ligament reconstruction, rotator cuff repair, spinal procedures and cardio-thoracic surgery.

• Total knee or hip replacement
• ACL reconstruction and meniscal surgery
• Rotator cuff repair and shoulder stabilisation
• Spinal decompression and fusion procedures
• Hand and wrist surgery
• Cardio-thoracic surgery — sternal precautions and reconditioning

1. Surgeon's ProtocolWe start from your operating surgeon's protocol — not a generic plan.
2. Phase-Specific CareRange, control, strength and return-to-function — each phase has criteria, not just dates.
3. AdjunctsElectrotherapy, manual therapy and bracing where appropriate.
4. Functional MilestonesWe test before progressing — not progress by the calendar.
5. Return-to-ActivityA phased plan to get you back to work, sport or hobby.

Sessions are structured around protocol milestones. Communication with your surgical team is part of the plan.

Typically 12–24 sessions, varying with the surgery.

Loading earlier than the surgeon's protocol allows — we do not deviate from clearance.

• We work with your surgeon's protocol and report back
• Criteria-based progression, not date-based shortcuts
• Realistic timelines explained at the first visit
