Pre & Post-Operative Physiotherapy
Our post-operative physiotherapy service provides expert, personalised care to help you recover safely, restore function, and regain confidence after surgery.
Surgical Rehabilitation: Expert Support Before and After Your Operation
Surgery can be a physically demanding and disruptive experience for the body. Post-operatively, it's common to experience symptoms such as swelling, joint stiffness, reduced mobility, and muscle weakness due to inactivity.
At LIFT, we understand that recovery doesn't start after surgery — it starts before. Physiotherapy plays a critical role in the surgical journey, both pre- and post-operation. By beginning physiotherapy before your procedure, we can help prepare your body, strengthen key muscle groups, and build a solid foundation for recovery. This proactive approach often leads to faster, smoother outcomes post-surgery.
After your operation, the success of your recovery depends heavily on your rehabilitation. Even with a successful surgical outcome, inadequate physiotherapy can limit your return to everyday life. Our team at LIFT is here to guide you every step of the way, ensuring your body heals effectively and regains its full potential.
