Post Surgery Rehabilitation
Recovering from surgery can feel overwhelming, but the right rehabilitation makes all the difference. At City South Physio, we specialise in post-surgical care across joints and injuries, creating tailored programs that follow your surgeon’s protocols. Our goal is to restore movement, rebuild strength, and help you return confidently to daily life.
Overview
Recovering from surgery can feel daunting, but with the right guidance, you can return to strength and confidence faster. At City South Physio, we specialise in post-surgery rehabilitation, supporting patients through every stage of recovery – from the first steps after an operation, to rebuilding strength and returning to the activities you love.
We are incredibly lucky to have very strong relationships with our network of surgeons and specialists, so we have a direct line to access your history and surgical procedures. Depending on your surgery, and the required protocols, we will create a structured program that is designed with you, and your operation in mind. Whether that be ankle, knee, hip, lower back, or even the shoulder, wrist and hand surgery– we’ve seen it all.
We will be your link between yourself and the surgeon to ensure you are making all the necessary milestones you need to be, and keeping your surgeon informed on your progress along the way. We’ll work with you to release stiff and tight joints, manage scar tissue and then improve your strength and help you regain your life as normal!
