Our team focuses on improving flexibility, strength, and range of motion with targeted exercises. This part of post-surgical rehab helps you regain mobility and rebuild stability in the areas affected by surgery.

Rehabilitation following knee surgery can include muscle reconditioning, swelling management, and exercises to restore range. Many individuals benefit from a focused approach such as Knee Pain Physiotherapy. Progress is usually gradual, and physiotherapy helps ensure movement is reintroduced in a safe and sustainable way.

For lumbar spine procedures, physiotherapy may include core stability work, guided stretching, and postural training. These elements are often part of our Lumbar Spine Physiotherapy services. The aim is to support spinal alignment, reduce stiffness, and help individuals return to everyday activities at a steady pace.
Each post surgical physiotherapy plan is developed in response to the procedure performed and the person’s recovery goals. Care is adapted to support steady progress, encourage movement, and reduce the risk of complications over time.

FAQs about Post Operative Physiotherapy & Rehabilitation
How can physiotherapy help with my post-surgical rehabilitation?
We provide customised post-surgical rehabilitation programs based on the patient’s goals, fitness level, and tissue condition, as well as any post-op precautions surgery.
Our exercise therapy usually focuses on:
- Activating muscles around the incision area
- Reducing pain and swelling around the incision site
- Strengthening surrounding muscles for overall joint stability
Our tailored physiotherapy can help address mobility and flexibility limitations post-surgery and promote joint and muscle mobility effectively.
What happens if you don't do physio after surgery?
Skipping physiotherapy after surgery can slow recovery and increase the risk of long-term issues. Without guided post-surgical physiotherapy, many patients face stiffness, weakness, poor mobility, and a higher chance of complications such as joint problems, muscle loss, or blood clots. Proper rehabilitation helps restore movement, build strength, and prevent chronic pain, making it an essential part of getting back to normal daily activities safely.
When can I start my post-surgical rehabilitation?
In most cases, post-surgical rehabilitation can begin a few days after the surgery. However, it is recommended to first consult a doctor and be given the go-ahead to begin physiotherapy.
How long does the physiotherapy take to work?
The duration of treatment will depend on your post-surgery condition. It is recommended that you remain patient and avoid rushing the recovery process to minimise the risk of the injury from reoccurring.
How long should I rest after physiotherapy?
The amount of rest needed after physiotherapy depends on the intensity of your session and your individual recovery needs. Generally, it’s advisable to rest for a few hours following a physiotherapy session to allow your body to recover and adapt to the exercises. For more intense sessions, you might feel the need to rest for the remainder of the day. Listen to your body — if you’re feeling fatigued or sore, give yourself time to rest and recuperate before engaging in further physical activity. Adequate rest helps your muscles recover and reduces the risk of injury, making your physiotherapy sessions more effective over time.
Why am I so tired after physiotherapy?
Feeling tired after physiotherapy is completely normal and can be attributed to several factors. Physiotherapy often involves exercises and activities that challenge your muscles, joints, and cardiovascular system, which can lead to physical fatigue. Additionally, your body is working hard to heal and adapt, which requires energy and can result in tiredness. Physiotherapy sessions also stimulate the release of certain chemicals in your brain, such as endorphins and other neurotransmitters, which can sometimes lead to a temporary sense of fatigue as your body recovers. It’s important to recognise that this tiredness is a sign that your body is responding to the therapy and working towards healing and strengthening.
