Pre & Post-Surgery Physiotherapy (Shoulder, Knee, Hip & Back Surgery)
Preparing for surgery can be daunting, but the support you receive before and after your procedure plays a crucial role in your recovery. Physiotherapy helps you build strength, improve mobility, and feel more confident leading up to — and following — your operation.
Before surgery, we design a tailored program to optimise strength, mobility and conditioning. Research consistently shows that patients who enter surgery better prepared experience smoother recoveries and superior long-term outcomes.
After surgery, we work closely with your surgeon’s recommendations to ensure your rehabilitation progresses safely and effectively. Post-operative physiotherapy focuses on restoring movement, reducing pain and swelling, rebuilding strength, and helping you return to your normal activities at the right pace.
Whether you’re undergoing knee, hip, shoulder, or back surgery, we’re here to support you every step of the way and help you achieve the best possible recovery.
