How we treat post-surgical rehab
We follow your surgeon’s protocol to the letter and add the part a protocol cannot give you: supervised, progressive rehabilitation that restores range, strength, and normal movement on the right schedule. Your physiotherapist knows when to protect the repair and when to load it, so you neither rush it nor lose time being too cautious. Kinesiology-led strengthening carries the later stages back toward full activity.
Is this you?
- You have a knee, hip, or shoulder replacement or repair scheduled and want to recover properly.
- You are out of the sling or off the crutches and unsure how hard to push.
- Your surgeon has given you a protocol and you want it run by someone who knows it.
- Range or strength has stalled and you want it moving again safely.
- You want to return to sport or full activity, not just to daily function.

Common questions
What patients ask most about post-surgical rehab.
- When should I start physiotherapy after surgery?
- Often sooner than people expect, and usually on a timeline your surgeon sets. Early, guided rehabilitation protects the repair while preventing the stiffness and weakness that set recovery back. Bring your surgical protocol or discharge notes and we work from those.
- Do you follow my surgeon’s protocol?
- Yes, exactly. Your surgeon’s protocol sets the boundaries, and we run the supervised progression inside them, knowing when to protect the repair and when it is safe to load it. If anything is unclear, we coordinate rather than guess.
- How long does rehab take after a knee or shoulder operation?
- It depends on the procedure, but most major joint surgeries run several months through staged phases. We work to your surgeon’s milestones and give you a clear picture of each phase at the first visit.
- Can you get me back to sport after surgery, not just daily life?
- Yes. Returning to sport is a later, distinct phase of rehabilitation that rebuilds the strength, control, and confidence the activity demands. We carry the plan through to that point rather than stopping at pain-free walking.
