Post-operative physiotherapy
Recovering from an operation can involve rebuilding movement, confidence and strength while respecting the procedure and individual healing process. The original clinic describes rehabilitation after knee and hip replacement, rotator cuff repair, ACL reconstruction, arthroscopy and spinal surgery.
Every patient is different. We consider your symptoms, health history, movement and what you need to return to, rather than applying a standard treatment routine.
