Physiotherapy & Rehabilitation

Physiotherapy and rehabilitation programmes support recovery after orthopaedic and spine surgery, and help manage musculoskeletal conditions non-surgically through structured, guided exercise and manual therapy.

How It's Performed

A physiotherapy assessment identifies specific strength, mobility, and functional goals, and a structured programme — combining exercises, manual therapy, and activity guidance — is built around the patient's condition and recovery stage.

Conditions Treated

  • Post-surgical rehabilitation (spine, joint replacement, ligament repair)
  • Chronic back and neck pain
  • Muscle weakness and reduced mobility
  • Sports and soft-tissue injuries

Benefits

  • Structured, goal-based recovery programmes
  • Support for both surgical and non-surgical patients
  • Focus on restoring strength, mobility, and function
  • Guidance on safe return to daily activity and sport

Recovery

Programmes are typically phased, progressing from early gentle mobilisation to strengthening and functional training, with the pace adjusted to the individual's healing and response to treatment.

Is This Right For You?

Every patient responds differently to physiotherapy & rehabilitation. An initial assessment identifies your specific condition, goals, and any precautions, so your programme is built around what you actually need rather than a one-size-fits-all routine.

Things to Know

Progress with physiotherapy & rehabilitation depends on consistency and following the programme between sessions. Your physiotherapist will adjust the plan based on your response and flag promptly if your condition needs a doctor's review.

Frequently Asked Questions

Do I need a doctor's referral for physiotherapy?

It's generally advisable to have your condition assessed by a doctor first, particularly after surgery or injury, so the physiotherapy programme can be tailored appropriately to your diagnosis.

How soon after surgery does physiotherapy start?

This varies by procedure — some post-surgical physiotherapy begins within days, while other cases require a period of protected rest first. Your surgeon will advise the appropriate timing for your specific procedure.

Can physiotherapy help avoid surgery?

For many musculoskeletal conditions, structured physiotherapy is an effective first-line treatment and can reduce or eliminate the need for surgery — though this depends on the specific diagnosis.

How long does a physiotherapy programme usually last?

Duration varies widely depending on the condition, from a few weeks for minor issues to several months for post-surgical rehabilitation — your physiotherapist will set expectations based on your specific programme.
