Recovery & Rehabilitation Sessions

About this service

The first weeks after surgery or injury largely determine the final outcome. Untreated swelling becomes stiffness, and stiffness takes months to reverse. A recovery programme works through these phases in a deliberate order rather than waiting for the body to sort itself out.

How treatment works

1. 1

   Phase 1: Protection

   Reducing swelling and pain, with limited safe movement that protects the surgical site while preventing stiffness.

2. 2

   Phase 2: Movement

   Restoring full joint range. This is the most important phase and the most sensitive to delay.

3. 3

   Phase 3: Strength

   Progressively rebuilding surrounding muscle strength toward parity with the uninjured side.

4. 4

   Phase 4: Function

   Returning to real activities — stairs, driving, work, sport — in a set order against clear criteria.
