Post-surgical physiotherapy

Postoperative rehabilitation that respects your operation and your goals.

Following an operation, it is common to need a clear plan for swelling, stiffness, strength, mobility and confidence. The Saltdean Physio provides progressive rehabilitation that is shaped around your procedure, surgical guidance and the activities you want to return to.

Working alongside your surgical instructions

Your rehabilitation should complement, not replace, the plan given by your surgeon. Bring any post-operative protocol, letters or restrictions to your assessment so treatment can be coordinated appropriately.

Steady progression at the right stage

The next step depends on healing, symptoms, movement and functional ability. Exercises and activity are progressed gradually, whether your goal is independent walking, returning to work, caring for family or getting back to sport.
