Orthopaedic Physio
Orthopaedic surgery encompasses a wide range of procedures, all designed to restore the function of joints, ligaments, and muscles. Whether you’ve recently undergone:
- total or partial knee replacements
- total or partial hip replacement
- shoulder replacement
- rotator cuff repair
- ACL reconstruction (or conservative management of this injury)
- ankle stabilisation
- small joint replacement
- neck and back surgery, or
- any other orthopaedic procedure,
Rehabilitation post-surgery is important to re-establish joint motion, muscle strength and control.
Tailored Recovery Plans
Each surgical procedure comes with its unique set of challenges and recovery timelines. As your physiotherapists, we are committed to creating a personalised rehabilitation plan that suits your specific needs. Our goal is to ensure that your recovery is not only successful but also as seamless as possible.
Preparing for Surgery: The Power of Physiotherapy
Before your surgery date arrives, it’s important to understand that preparation is crucial. The better your physical condition before surgery, the more favourable your post-operative outcomes. Here’s how we can prepare together:
Maintaining Activity: Even if you’re limited by pain, we can develop a personalised program to keep you moving safely.
Strength and Mobility: We’ll work together to maintain strong muscles, mobile joints, and optimal cardiovascular fitness.
Smoking Cessation: If you smoke, consider seeking support from your GP to enhance your healing process.
