The Strength of Pre-Surgery Physio
Improving Strength & Mobility
Targeted exercises build the physical resilience needed to support your joints and muscles immediately following your procedure.
Learning Exercises in Advance
Mastering your rehabilitation movements while pain is manageable ensures you can perform them safely and effectively after surgery.
Reducing Pain & Stiffness
By optimising tissue health and circulation beforehand, we can significantly decrease post-operative inflammation and discomfort.
Feeling in Control
Preparation reduces anxiety. Knowing exactly what to expect helps you feel more empowered and confident throughout your recovery.
Your Post-Surgery Journey
1. Initial Assessment
A comprehensive review of your surgery, hospital notes, and current physical state to build a safe, personalised recovery roadmap.
2. Early Gentle Movement
Focusing on reducing swelling and managing pain through controlled, gentle activation of the muscles around the surgical site.
3. Hands-on Treatment
Manual therapy and soft tissue work to improve scar tissue mobility, reduce stiffness, and restore natural joint mechanics.
4. Progressive Exercise
A gradual load-bearing programme designed to rebuild strength, endurance, and balance as your body heals.
5. Return to Sport & Function
Specific rehabilitation drills tailored to your unique goals, whether that’s returning to professional sport or daily work activities.
Home visits are available for patients who struggle to travel after their surgery. We provide the same expert clinical care in the comfort and safety of your own home.
