Joint Replacement Recovery
Understanding Joint Replacement Recovery
Joint replacement (arthroplasty) is a surgical procedure where a damaged joint is removed and replaced with an artificial implant. It is most commonly performed on the hip, knee, and shoulder joints. While the surgery itself is critical, the rehabilitation that follows is equally important for achieving the best possible outcome.
Physiotherapy after joint replacement is not optional: it is an essential part of the recovery process. Without proper rehabilitation, you risk developing joint stiffness, muscle weakness, and suboptimal function of your new joint.
Our Physiotherapy Approach
Our joint replacement rehabilitation programme is comprehensive and individualised. We begin with prehabilitation before surgery when possible, then provide structured post-surgical care. Early focus is on pain and swelling management, range of motion, and safe mobility. As you progress, we introduce strengthening, balance training, and functional exercises. Our goal is to help you return to the activities you enjoy with your new joint.
