Physiotherapy, Rehabilitation & Recovery Planning

Post-surgery rehabilitation planning provides structured recovery support after knee replacement, hip replacement, ACL reconstruction, meniscus surgery, shoulder surgery, fracture surgery and arthroscopy. The plan is based on the operation performed, tissue healing requirements, pain level, movement restriction, weight-bearing status and the patient’s work or activity goals.

Knee replacement rehabilitation is planned after total knee replacement, partial knee replacement or robotic knee replacement. The focus is on safe walking, knee range of movement, swelling control, strengthening, balance, confidence and gradual return to daily activities. Rehabilitation helps patients improve mobility while protecting the healing tissues.

ACL reconstruction rehabilitation is a stepwise recovery plan after ACL surgery. It may include swelling control, knee movement restoration, quadriceps activation, strengthening, balance training, neuromuscular control, running progression and return-to-sport planning. Recovery should be guided by functional progress rather than time alone.

Meniscus surgery rehabilitation is planned after meniscus repair or meniscus trimming. Recovery depends on the type of meniscus procedure performed. Meniscus repair may require more protection in the early phase, while meniscus trimming may follow a different progression. Rehabilitation focuses on weight-bearing guidance, knee movement, strength and safe return to activity.

Shoulder rehabilitation is provided for rotator cuff problems, frozen shoulder, shoulder arthroscopy, shoulder instability and post-operative shoulder recovery. The plan may include pain control, shoulder movement exercises, stiffness management, rotator cuff strengthening, posture correction and gradual return to work, gym or sport.

Hip replacement rehabilitation focuses on recovery after hip replacement surgery. The plan may include walking support, hip mobility, hip muscle strengthening, balance, precautions where needed and gradual return to daily activity. The aim is to support safe movement, confidence and independence after surgery.

Fracture rehabilitation helps patients recover after plaster treatment, splinting, bracing or fracture fixation surgery. The focus is on restoring joint movement, muscle strength, walking ability, limb function and confidence after a fracture. Rehabilitation is planned according to fracture healing, surgical fixation, pain level and weight-bearing instructions.

Sports injury rehabilitation supports recovery after ligament injuries, tendon problems, muscle injuries and sports-related trauma. The plan may include strength training, mobility work, balance, sport-specific conditioning, gradual loading and safe return-to-sport progression. The goal is to reduce recurrence risk and help patients return to activity with confidence.

Return-to-work planning provides guidance for patients returning to desk-based work, physical work, travel and daily responsibilities after injury or surgery. The plan may consider job type, sitting or standing tolerance, walking needs, lifting demands, commuting, travel requirements and expected recovery milestones.

Return-to-sport planning is a stepwise recovery pathway for patients returning to gym, running, cycling, swimming, football, racquet sports or other activities. The focus is on safe progression, strength, balance, coordination, sport-specific drills and confidence. Return-to-sport decisions should be based on readiness and function, not only on fixed timelines.

Pain and mobility recovery planning is suitable for patients with pain, stiffness, weakness, reduced walking tolerance or loss of confidence after injury, surgery or prolonged inactivity. The goal is to improve movement, reduce stiffness, build strength and support safer walking and daily activity.

Prehabilitation before surgery includes strengthening, mobility training and education before planned surgery. It may be useful before knee replacement, hip replacement, ACL surgery, shoulder surgery or other orthopaedic procedures. Better preparation before surgery may support smoother recovery after the operation.
