Post-Surgical Rehab

Post-Surgery Recovery

Surgery is only the start of recovery. Structured, evidence-based physiotherapy is what restores movement, strength, and confidence — and what protects the result of the operation long-term.

Protect the Outcome of Surgery

The biggest predictor of a good long-term surgical result is structured rehabilitation. We build that around the protocol your surgeon has set.

Understanding the Condition

Surgeries We Support

01

Joint Replacement

Hip, knee, and shoulder replacement rehabilitation — staged loading and movement restoration that protects the implant.

02

ACL & Knee Reconstruction

Sport-focused ACL, meniscus, and cartilage rehabilitation, with criterion-based return-to-sport testing.

03

Shoulder Surgery

Rotator cuff repair, labral repair, and stabilisation rehabilitation following your surgeon's loading protocol.

04

Spinal Surgery

Discectomy, fusion, and decompression — careful, graded rehabilitation that respects the surgical site.

05

Foot & Ankle Surgery

Bunionectomy, ankle reconstruction, and Achilles repair — from non-weight-bearing through to full return.

06

Fracture & Trauma

Post-fixation rehabilitation that restores range, strength, and load tolerance after orthopaedic trauma.

How we treat it

The KINETIKA Approach

1
Surgeon-Aligned Plan

We start by reading your operative report and protocol, then build your rehabilitation around what your surgeon expects and the timelines they have set.

2
Early-Stage Manual Therapy & Mobility

Carefully dosed manual therapy and movement work to manage swelling, restore range, and protect the surgical site.

3
Progressive Strength & Loading

Stage-by-stage strengthening that rebuilds the capacity surgery and downtime took out — without overloading healing tissue.

4
Return-to-Activity Testing

Criterion-based testing before clearing return to work, sport, or full activity, so the result of surgery actually holds.

Common questions

Frequently Asked Questions

Often within the first few days, depending on the operation. Early movement — within your surgeon's protocol — protects range of motion, manages swelling, and improves long-term outcomes.

Yes. We work directly from your operative report and surgeon's protocol, and we are happy to share progress notes back.

It depends on the surgery. ACL reconstruction is typically a 9–12 month structured rehabilitation; joint replacement is around 12 weeks of guided progression. We will give you realistic timelines at the first session.

Some discomfort is normal early on. Persistent or escalating pain is a clinical signal — we will adjust the plan and, where needed, communicate with your surgeon.
