Your Rehabilitation

Rehabilitation is essential for all patients, whether you undergo surgery or are managed non-operatively. Recovery follows a staged, progressive process specific to your procedure or condition - protecting healing tissue in the early stages, rebuilding strength and control, and gradually returning to full activity and sport.

A few principles apply regardless of which joint or procedure is involved: follow your specific protocol and any weight-bearing or movement precautions carefully, engage consistently with an experienced physiotherapist, and be patient - meaningful recovery takes time, and short-term setbacks are common and rarely cause for concern.
