FAQ’s
-
This depends on the specific procedure and your surgeon's protocol, but rehabilitation often begins within the first week after surgery. Early assessment is important to help manage swelling, prevent stiffness, and address any muscle weakness that can develop quickly after an operation. Your surgeon or physiotherapist will advise on the right timing for your situation
-
A referral isn't always required, but many patients are referred directly by their surgeon following joint replacement, ligament repair, or fracture surgery. If you're unsure whether you need one, get in touch and our team can help clarify.
-
If you've had surgery, it's helpful to bring your surgeon's post-operative report or discharge summary, along with any specific rehabilitation protocol you've been given. This helps your physiotherapist tailor your treatment to your procedure and stage of recovery.
-
Your physiotherapist will assess your current strength, movement, and function, review your surgical history and any precautions, and develop a progressive treatment plan that may include manual therapy, targeted exercises, and guidance on returning to daily activities and sport.
-
This varies significantly depending on the procedure and your individual progress — some procedures involve a few months of structured rehabilitation, while others require a longer-term approach. Your physiotherapist will give you a clearer timeframe specific to your surgery once they've assessed you.
