Rehabilitation after surgery follows the medical protocol you have been given, progressing movement, strength and function as your recovery allows.
Bring any discharge notes, protocols or imaging reports you have. Where a restriction is unclear we will ask you to confirm it with your surgeon.
This page explains the rehabilitation programme after surgery. Your operation, current restrictions and discharge advice determine what can be worked on. Bring your surgical notes and exercise instructions so the assessment can connect movement and strength goals to the limits your surgical team has set.
Range of movement, loading and functional tasks may progress at different rates. There is no single timetable that fits every operation. Ask which activities are currently permitted and what needs your surgeon’s clearance before returning to work, driving or training.
If a restriction or instruction is unclear, ask your surgical team to clarify it. The related recovery page covers common concerns after a cast, fracture or operation; this programme page describes how rehabilitation is planned around those concerns. New postoperative concerns should be discussed with your surgical team promptly.
