Rebuild your strength, flexibility and confidence after major surgery with a physio program tailored to your personal goals.


What is post-operative physiotherapy?

Many people experience a period of immobility, when recovering from a major surgical procedure. This can inevitably lead to muscle weakness, joint stiffness, loss of balance, and reduced flexibility. Without proper rehabilitation, these issues can impede recovery, making everyday activities more challenging.

Post-operative physiotherapy focuses on restoring strength, flexibility and function, helping you regain mobility safely and effectively. Whether you're recovering from orthopaedic surgery, joint replacement, spinal surgery, or another procedure, Richard can help you recover smoother and faster.
