Post Op Rehab
Introduction
What Does Post Op Rehab Involve?
Physiotherapy plays a key role in helping patients overcoming numerous types of surgical procedures.
During the acute phase we will help reduce the risk of post-operative complications. Our physiotherapist will highlight the key signs of post-operative infections, as well as prescribe exercises so as to reduce the risk of blood clots. They will also educate patients on the post-operative precautions/restrictions associated with their specific procedure. Clarification will be given on post-operative weight bearing status, as well as offer instructions on how to use assistive devices such as crutches.
During the later phases of post-operative rehabilitation, we aim to return patients to their prior level of function, including successful return to work, recreational activities and competitive sport.

Client Testimonials
SJ's wealth of experience and genuine passion for his job is his biggest asset, coupled with his ability to forge a relationship with a client on a professional and a personal level. He found a solution to my long-term lower back problems, not only by treating the symptoms but finding the root cause of the issue. It allowed me to continue my career as a professional rugby player with the Newcastle Falcons and I will always be grateful that our paths crossed.
Carlo Del Fava
BBC Sport, Former Italian International
After becoming injured earlier in the year I came to Activate Physio for help. SJ quickly isolated the issues and provided a programme of exercises to correct imbalances that had caused the problems. This enabled me to resume training quicker than expected with stronger and more efficient form. I would highly recommend Activate Physiotherapy to anyone in need of professional sports treatment.
