Post-Surgery Rehabilitation in Bradford

Successful recovery after surgery requires the right sequence: protect healing tissues, restore motion, rebuild strength, and re-integrate function. Our post-operative physiotherapy aligns with your surgeon’s protocol while customizing your plan to pain levels, swelling, and daily goals. We help patients after ACL reconstruction, rotator cuff repair, joint replacements, spinal procedures, and more—moving from early symptom control to confident return to work and sport.

Phased Post-Op Care

  1. Phase 1 – Calm & Protect: swelling control, gentle range, gait aids
  2. Phase 2 – Restore Motion: joint mobilization, flexibility, neuromuscular control
  3. Phase 3 – Strength & Endurance: progressive loading matched to tissue capacity
  4. Phase 4 – Function & Return: task-specific drills, work/sport re-entry tests
