Recovery After Surgery: The First Twelve Weeks

Post-surgical rehabilitation follows the biology of healing. Early phases protect the repair while maintaining circulation, range and surrounding muscle activation.

Weeks two to six typically restore range of motion and normalise walking or arm use, depending on the procedure.

From week six, strength and functional loading take over, with progression guided by your surgeon's protocol and your clinical response.

Home visit physiotherapy is especially valuable in the first weeks when travel is difficult and consistency matters most.
