Post-Surgical Rehab Physio in Hackney

Post-surgical rehab is structured physiotherapy after procedures such as ACL reconstruction, hip and shoulder replacement and spinal surgery. Early goals include managing pain and swelling, restoring range of motion and protecting the surgical site, then rebuilding strength and function. NHS guidance emphasises early, guided movement within the limits your surgical team sets. Contact your surgical team urgently if you notice wound infection, sudden swelling or pain, or a fever.

Before we start, we ask for details of your surgery and any protocol or precautions your surgeon has given you, so our plan works alongside their guidance rather than against it. We assess your current range of motion, strength and function, and talk with you about what you want to return to, whether that is walking comfortably, returning to work, or getting back to running or your club sport.

Post-surgical recovery is typically a longer process than a standard soft tissue injury, often running from several weeks to several months depending on the procedure. We will explain each stage of your rehab as you reach it, with clear milestones so you understand what progress looks like, from early mobility through to a full return to your normal activities or sport.
