Preparing for Surgery

Pre-operative rehabilitation, also called prehabilitation, focuses on building strength, maintaining appropriate movement and preparing you for the recovery ahead.

Where needed, we provide guidance on walking aids, exercises and managing everyday activities after your operation.

Rehabilitation After Surgery

Your rehabilitation may focus on:

• Managing pain, swelling and stiffness.

• Restoring joint movement and muscle strength.

• Improving walking, balance and coordination.

• Rebuilding confidence in using the affected area.

• Progressing towards work, gym training and sport.

We combine assessment, appropriate treatment and a personalised exercise programme. Your plan is reviewed and adjusted as you reach each stage of recovery.

How Long Does Recovery Take?

Recovery varies depending on your procedure, tissue healing, overall health and goals. We explain the expected stages and guide your progression using your assessment findings, functional milestones and your surgeon’s recommendations.
