Pre and Post Surgery

Why Pre-Surgery Physiotherapy Is Important

Before surgery, the principal aim of physiotherapy is often pain relief and to strengthen the muscles around the joint as much as possible to enable a quicker recovery.  It is highly recommended, especially for ACL repairs and knee or hip replacements,  to visit your physiotherapist in weeks preceding the scheduled surgery.

Rehabilitation Post Surgery

Post surgery, the aim is to help people in different stages of rehabilitation from early days to the final return to everyday activities and sport. The goal will be to treat the pain, restore joint range of movement and associated muscle length and strength.
