Whether you’re preparing for surgery or recovering after it, physiotherapy plays a vital role in improving outcomes and regaining independence.

Before Surgery (Prehabilitation)

Pre-surgical physiotherapy prepares your body to better handle surgery and speeds up recovery. Evidence shows prehab can reduce hospital stays by 1–2 days and decrease complication risks—setting you up for a smoother recovery.

Programs may include:

  • Strengthening key muscle groups
  • Reducing stiffness with targeted mobility work
  • Guided exercises to optimise joint range and function

After Surgery (Rehabilitation)

Post-surgical physiotherapy supports healing and helps restore normal movement. It involves:

  • Tailored exercises to rebuild strength and mobility
  • Pain and swelling management
  • Techniques to improve circulation and prevent complications like stiffness or clots

With physiotherapy, you’re not just recovering—you’re returning stronger and more confident.
