Post-surgery physiotherapy at home provides structured one-on-one rehabilitation in your own environment —ideal if you have restricted mobility, struggle with transport, or are recovering from procedures like hip, knee, spinal, or upper-limb surgery, I can provide safe, supported rehabilitation at home.
Home rehabilitation after surgery is crucial for the success of the operation itself and most surgeons will give a home programme to follow. Perhaps you or a relative needs some support and encouragement with this, or you need help in adapting for your own particular circumstances at home.
Having worked on orthopaedic wards within the NHS and private hospitals such as Kind Edward VII and The Cromwell and London Clinics, I have significant experience on providing post surgery physiotherapy.
I can visit you in hospital before returning home to plan for your physiotherapy home visit after surgery. We can also talk before an operation to prepare you for the operation and ensure you are as fit as possible to encourage optimum recovery time.
Rehabilitation physiotherapy at home may include mobility rehabilitation, transfers, use of hot and cold therapies, using the bathroom and negotiating stairs and steps after surgery.
Initial Assessment: As a chartered physiotherapist I can review your discharge notes, surgeon protocols, and physical limits.
Pain & Swelling Management: Using manual therapy, massage, cold therapy, or lymphatic drainage to reduce post-surgical oedema.
Mobility & Strength: Focusing on passive-to-active joint mobilization, gentle flexibility, and targeted muscle re-education (such as quadriceps or core strengthening).
Functional Independence: Teaching you how to safely navigate stairs, transition from chairs, and gradually transition away from walking aids like crutches or zimmer frames.
