Frequently Asked Questions

Common questions

When to start rehab after surgery?+

Rehabilitation typically begins within days of surgery, guided by your surgeon's protocol. Early mobilisation is crucial for preventing complications and ensuring optimal recovery. Your physiotherapist will coordinate with your surgical team to determine the safest starting point.

How long is post-surgery rehab?+

The duration depends on the type of surgery, individual healing rate, and functional goals. Minor procedures may require 4–6 weeks, while major joint replacements or reconstructive surgeries can take 3–6 months or longer. A personalised timeline is established during your initial assessment.

Is post-surgery rehab painful?+

While some discomfort is normal during recovery, rehabilitation is designed to be progressive and within your comfort zone. Therapists use gentle techniques and adjust intensity to manage pain while ensuring effective recovery. Communication with your therapist helps maintain a comfortable treatment pace.

Can I do exercises at home?+

Yes, home exercises are a vital part of post-surgery recovery. Your physiotherapist will provide a tailored home exercise programme with clear instructions to complement your clinic sessions. Consistent home practice significantly improves recovery outcomes.

How soon can I walk after surgery?+

Walking typically begins very early — often within a day or two of surgery under supervision. Weight-bearing guidelines depend on the specific procedure and your surgeon's recommendations. Your physiotherapist will guide you through each stage safely.
