Post-Op Rehabilitation

Our physiotherapists are experienced at returning people who have had joint, spinal and soft-tissue surgery to comfortable and good physical function following their surgery.  We have extensive experience working with upper limb, lower limb and spinal specialists.  We commonly work with people who have had:

  • Knee and hip replacement
  • Knee, hip and ankle arthroscopy
  • Knee ACL reconstruction
  • Shoulder replacement, rotator cuff repair, reconstruction
  • Spinal surgery
  • Elbow, wrist and hand / finger surgery
  • Foot and ankle surgery

Working with your specialist, we start with a detailed and thorough assessment.  This identifies key areas that need attention, whether that be strengthening, joint mobilisation or other strategies.  Using functional training regimes and exercises using light weights and resistance bands, many of these strategies can be implemented in a home based exercise program.

Critical is an understanding of the surgery that you have had and the timeframes for progression of your exercises.

We have a small gym area including free weights, exercise band resistance and Pilates reformer.  We are able to develop customised rehab programs using this equipment.  

For further information please contact our reception on 8271 8622 or make an assessment consultation with one of our physiotherapists via the online booking portal on this website.
