After surgery, rehabilitation is essential to restore function, reduce pain, and minimise complications. Our experienced physiotherapists and exercise physiologists use evidence-based techniques to support you throughout your recovery. Through guided exercises, manual therapy, and tailored movement strategies, we help you safely progress through each phase of rehabilitation to regain strength, flexibility, and independence.

Common post-operative conditions we manage include:

  • Total Knee Replacement: Regain joint mobility and strength while reducing pain and stiffness.

  • Shoulder Surgery: Restore shoulder function and range of motion, crucial for everyday activities.

  • ACL Reconstruction: Comprehensive rehab to rebuild knee stability, strength, and confidence in movement.

  • Spinal Surgery (e.g., neck and back): Support for safe spinal healing, mobility restoration, and pain management.

  • Ankle Reconstruction: Rehab to restore balance, mobility, and strength to support everyday and athletic movements.

Pre-surgical rehabilitation, or “prehab,” involves preparing your body for surgery through targeted exercises and strength-building activities. Research shows that strengthening muscles and improving mobility before surgery can lead to a faster, smoother recovery. Our prehab assessments allow you to:

  • Learn Post-Surgery Exercises: Familiarise yourself with early rehabilitation exercises you’ll need post-surgery.

  • Build Strength: Strengthen the muscles around the surgical area, providing a better foundation for recovery.

  • Enhance Mobility and Balance: Improve flexibility and stability, preparing your body to adapt more effectively post-surgery.

By starting prehab, you’ll go into surgery with improved physical readiness, which can enhance your recovery process and support a quicker return to normal activities.

Our commitment to your recovery goes beyond the clinic. We maintain open and regular communication with your surgical team, sharing updates on your progress and coordinating any adjustments needed in your treatment plan. This collaborative approach ensures that every phase of your recovery aligns with your surgeon’s goals and expectations, providing you with cohesive, well-rounded care.

What to Expect in Your Post-Operative Rehabilitation

Initial Assessment

After your surgery, we perform a comprehensive assessment to understand your current mobility, pain levels, and any limitations. This helps us create a personalised plan focused on your specific goals and recovery timeline. Throughout your recovery, we take regular measurements and track key outcomes to guide your progress safely.

Customised Exercise Program

Our team guides you through exercises designed to restore range of motion, strength, and functional mobility. These exercises are adjusted at each stage to match your healing progress, ensuring safe and effective recovery. We consistently monitor your response to exercise and make necessary adjustments for optimal results.

Pain Management and Manual Therapy

Our hands-on techniques help manage pain and reduce stiffness in the healing area. With regular sessions, we ensure that your pain is well-controlled, allowing you to focus on rebuilding strength and mobility.

Progressive Strengthening and Functional Training

As you progress, we introduce exercises to build strength, enhance balance, and simulate real-life movements to prepare you for daily activities. Each phase is designed with specific goals, ensuring that you gain the strength and confidence needed for a successful return to your usual activities or sports performance.

Regular Updates for Your Surgical Team

We prioritise communication with your surgeon, providing regular updates on your progress and key milestones. By sharing your outcomes and assessment data, we ensure that everyone involved in your care is aligned and informed, allowing us to adjust your treatment as necessary. This collaborative approach helps us to support your recovery with the utmost precision, safety, and effectiveness.

At Bodyfix Physiotherapy, we’re here to help you navigate the entire recovery process, from pre-surgical preparation to post-operative care. Our goal is to provide you with the support and expertise needed to recover fully and confidently return to your daily activities.
