Post-Operative Physiotherapy
The success of orthopaedic surgery depends on what you do post operatively. Often,
if not managed carefully with the help of a physiotherapist, you can continue to
experience ongoing problems with stiffness, pain, swelling and general lack of confidence
with the limb. In the early stages our therapists help you to regain movement, decrease
swelling and strengthen the muscles around the joint. We will advise you on how
and when you can return to normal activities including sport. You will be given
an exercise programme designed to guide you back to your pre-operative activity.
