Physiotherapy can support you before and after orthopaedic or spinal surgery. The aim is to prepare your body, explain what to expect and guide a safe return to everyday movement.
Why pre-operative rehabilitation matters
Building strength and practising key movements before surgery can make early recovery tasks more familiar. It is also a chance to plan equipment, home support and realistic milestones.
Why post-operative rehabilitation matters
After surgery, your program develops according to the procedure, your surgeon’s guidance and how your body responds. Early priorities often include swelling, pain, mobility and confidence.
What sessions may include
- Education about precautions and expected stages.
- Walking, transfers and mobility practice.
- Range-of-motion and progressive strengthening.
- Hydrotherapy when clinically appropriate.
- Return-to-work, driving and sport planning.
- Communication with your surgeon or GP.
