Post-operative physiotherapy at home
Post-operative rehabilitation helps you recover movement, strength and confidence after surgery. The first weeks at home are often when people feel most uncertain: the hospital team has given advice, but putting it into practice on your own stairs or in your own bathroom can feel very different.
Common difficulties include stiffness around the operated joint, weakness after time spent resting, tiredness, discomfort when walking and understandable anxiety about doing too much or too little. Some people also find their overall fitness has dropped after a hospital stay.
Home physiotherapy makes rehabilitation practical. Rather than travelling to a clinic while you are still sore or unable to drive, we work on walking around your home, getting on and off the bed, chair and toilet, and managing the stairs you use every day.
Who can benefit?
Anyone recovering from joint replacement, fracture, spinal or other orthopaedic surgery, particularly people who find travel difficult in the early weeks, and those whose mobility or confidence has dropped after a hospital stay.
