Physiotherapy post surgery is an extremely important part of your post op recovery. Initially swelling and pain are taken into consideration and specific soft tissue techniques and joint mobilisations are carried out to help reduce the pain and the swelling which follows surgery. Prolonged swelling can slow the healing process down and can make it difficult to gain full range of movement and strength.

As pain reduces and movement becomes easier we can follow specific post op protocols that are in place for each particular surgery so that your rehabilitation can continue safely in the hands of a professional. 

At PhysioWorks we want our clients to feel safe and we endeavour to give our clients the best possible care.

We will guide you through your rehabilitation process to get you back to normal health.

We also see clients following injections eg spinal injections, injections into the shoulder joint, elbow and knee.

Rehabilitation programmes in these cases are also very useful and give you lots of advice to help you through the whole process.
