Pre-surgical physiotherapy may consist of a set of exercises on how to strengthen and mobilise the area as well as post-op advice on how to move in and out of bed and chair and instructions on how to use equipment such as crutches or slings. Importantly your Physiotherapist can spend time reassuring you on the procedure and reducing any anxieties you may have.

 

We provide post-operative treatment for both inpatients and
outpatients. We have long standing relationships with many surgeons, allowing us to keep up-to-date with modern surgical techniques and procedures to ensure your optimal recovery.
