Your Personalised At-Home Recovery Plan
The journey back to full function begins with a thorough post-operative assessment at your home, where you are most comfortable. This allows us to understand your specific surgery, your current condition, and your personal recovery goals. There’s no need to arrange difficult travel when you are at your most vulnerable.
We then create a tailored rehabilitation programme with specific, progressive exercises designed to restore movement and build strength at a safe pace. This is particularly important in elderly rehabilitation, where a carefully managed plan is key. We guide you through every step, ensuring you recover correctly and achieve the best possible outcome from your surgery.
Frequently Asked Questions
When should I start physiotherapy after my surgery?
This depends on your surgeon’s recommendations, but typically, gentle rehabilitation can begin very soon after you return home. Early mobilisation is often key to preventing stiffness and promoting healing.
How often will I need physiotherapy?
In the initial weeks after surgery, you may benefit from 1-2 sessions per week. As you progress and become more independent with your exercises, the frequency can be reduced.
What if I’m in a lot of pain?
Our physiotherapists are experts in managing post-operative pain. All exercises will be tailored to your comfort level, and we can provide advice on pain and swelling management to make your recovery as smooth as possible.
