When should physiotherapy start after surgery? It depends on the surgery, but often early, sometimes within days, and always guided by your surgeon's instructions. Starting at the right time prevents stiffness and weakness and helps you recover faster and more safely.
Book ConsultationPost surgical rehabilitation is a planned programme of physiotherapy that helps your body recover after an operation. After surgery, the joint or area is often swollen, painful and weak, and muscles quickly lose strength when you move less. Without guided rehab, people commonly face stiffness, a limp, poor balance or a slow return to normal life.
Physiotherapy bridges the gap between the operating theatre and your daily routine. We work on pain and swelling control, restoring joint movement, rebuilding strength, retraining walking and balance, and safely returning you to work, driving, stairs or sport.
We never replace your surgeon. We follow their restrictions and timelines, and ask you to bring your discharge summary or operative notes so the plan fits your surgery.
Post surgical rehabilitation = structured physiotherapy after surgery to reduce pain and swelling, restore movement and strength, and get you back to normal activity safely.
We support recovery after many common orthopaedic and related surgeries, including:
Knee replacement and ligament repair, including ACL / PCL reconstruction, where regaining bend, straightening and walking pattern is key.
Hip replacement and fracture fixation, with a focus on safe movement, balance and weight-bearing.
Rotator cuff repair, fracture fixation and elbow or wrist procedures, restoring range and function gradually.
Recovery after back or neck surgery, with gentle core, posture and mobility work as your surgeon permits.
Regaining movement and strength after a cast, plate or rod, when stiffness and muscle wasting are common.

Exact timing differs by surgery, age and health, so your own plan follows your surgeon's protocol. In general, rehabilitation moves through these phases:
Control pain and swelling, protect the repair, and begin safe early movement.
Regain joint range and normal walking or arm use through gentle mobility work.
Progressive strengthening to support the joint and correct muscle imbalance.
Balance, stamina and task-specific training for work, stairs, driving or sport.
Your plan is built after assessment and updated as you improve. It may include:
Physiotherapy techniques to ease post-operative pain and muscle guarding safely.
Advice on elevation, movement and appropriate scar mobility once your wound has healed and your surgeon allows.
Guided, graded movement to prevent stiffness and regain bend, reach and rotation.
Customised exercises to rebuild muscle power, stability and endurance step by step.
Re-learning a normal walking pattern, with help to wean off walkers or sticks when safe.
Clear routines and do's and don'ts for daily activities between visits.
We review your surgery notes, pain, swelling, movement and strength, and understand your recovery goals.
A customised plan fitted to your surgery type, restrictions and lifestyle, with clear milestones.
Hands-on therapy and guided exercises, tracking progress from your first session to full recovery.

| Walking & balance | Normal gait retrained | Limp, poor balance, higher fall risk |
| Confidence | You know what is safe to do | Fear of movement, or overdoing it |
| Safety | Progress follows surgeon's limits | Risk of doing too much, too soon |

It is a structured physiotherapy programme after surgery that reduces pain and swelling, restores joint movement, rebuilds strength and retrains walking and daily activities, following your surgeon's guidance.
Timing depends on the operation and your surgeon's protocol. Some patients begin within days, others after a few weeks. Share your discharge summary with us and we will plan around it.
It varies with the type of surgery, your age, health and how consistently you do your exercises. Some people need a few weeks, others several months. You get an estimate after your first assessment.
Some discomfort and muscle soreness are normal, but exercises should stay within a tolerable range. We adjust intensity and never push through sharp pain.
You can book an appointment directly. We follow your surgeon's restrictions, so please bring operative notes or discharge papers, and tell us about any limits you were given.
