Pre & Post-Surgery Physiotherapy

Conditions

The support you need to prepare and recover from surgery

Physiotherapy can fix a multitude of ailments: but sometimes, your pain and reduced function come from a deeper source. 

Surgery isn’t a magical fix that immediately gets you back to normal: it’s the first step to your recovery. 

From joint replacements to fracture repairs; an operation is hard on the body. You’ve spent a lot of money – and time waiting – to get to this point. The last thing you want is to fill your recovery period with even more painkillers, waiting for things to improve. 

You deserve the very best outcome after your surgery. Private post-surgery physiotherapy can help you get back to living your life to the fullest again – pain-free at last.

Supporting your recover­y

Tackling the source of your issue is one thing: now it’s time to get you back to your healthiest again!  

If you have waited a long time for your surgery to take place, it’s important to take every measure possible to make the most of your new quality of life. 

Post-op physiotherapy is particularly important for NHS patients, as it typically isn’t offered as part of your surgery plan. A physiotherapist can provide a plan that not only helps you to improve your mobility again but will also be able to guide you through what to expect at every stage of your recovery.

There is more to life than being pain-free. Private physiotherapy can provide the guidance you need in the months after surgery to help you make the most of your second chance at life.

Long-Term Rehab Physiotherapy

Many acute injuries require long-term rehab, including:

  • Fractures
  • Ligament and tendon repairs 
  • Shoulder cuff repairs 
  • ACL and MCL repairs

This service will often be offered on the NHS, but the support is limited, with short-term treatment plans that likely won’t cover the time you need guidance for.

If you want to get back to your favourite physical activities, you typically need 18-24 months of post-surgery physiotherapy to reduce joint stiffness and help you move independently again.

With Hamilton Physiotherapy, you get professional support for as long as you need it – and a friendly face who is as committed to your recovery as you are.

I would highly recommend David at Hamilton physiotherapy. I first attended a neuropathy workshop when I learned so much more about my condition than I had from my gp or from the neurologist who gave me my diagnosis. I decided to try the stimpod therapy that was discussed at the workshop. Throughout my treatments David put me at ease explaining everything and giving advice on some other things too.

The physios here take the time to listen to the full extent of your injury. They also explain the pain and the movement issues very well. Both David anf James are great at explaining things and breaking down technical information. Both physios are also friendly and approachable. They make you feel at ease. I highly recommend this place!

Thanks David for all your help in treating my chronic shoulder and neck pain. Through your focused exercises and stretches over the last few months I am nearly pain free, have much more strength and mobility and my posture has vastly improved. I will continue with the work you have given me. You have made me better!

I recently completed 8 sessions of physio for my knee pain. David was very informative and showed my different exercises that would help to strengthen my knee. He also did a bit of work on my neck as that was causing me some issues too. After my physio my knee is so much better thanks to the help of David. I would highly recommend Hamilton Physiotherapy to anyone who has a pain and would like to get it looked at.

I saw David for help with several age-related issues and found him to be caring and supportive. He immediately put me at ease and I felt I was in safe hands. At the first session he gave me a comprehensive assessment of what was causing me problems along with an exercise plan to manage them that was easy to fit into my day. 6 weeks later, after 3 sessions, there has been considerable improvement and David has now adjusted my plan going forward. I also attended his recent hip workshop which was very informative and it was reassuring to know that help is available for most things that might go wrong as we age. I would certainly recommend David to anyone needing help in the area of physiotherapy.
