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.
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.
Many acute injuries require long-term rehab, including:
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.
Whether you get your surgery on the NHS or choose to go private, there will always be a waiting period before the big day.
Physiotherapy can help at any stage of your surgery journey – including before your operation has even taken place!
Proactive physiotherapy helps you strengthen weak muscles, regain function, and have a better outcome much faster. Plus, our friendly expert physiotherapists will be happy to explain your surgery in detail and the impact it will have on your body.
Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I had suffered from long term chronic back pain for around 10 years, since I was a teenager. I had tried a number of different physios/osteopaths/chiropractors over the years and had no such luck in getting any real long term relief or progress. However, after using David’s services and guidance I have for the first time, in a long time, been able to make the progress I was looking for. I had played junior football in my early 20s and had to hang up my boots through my injury. This year I was able to complete a full season of amateur football with only missing a handful of games through injury thanks to David’s help and programs that he designed specifically around my needs. I can’t recommend him enough to anyone who has suffered anything remotely similar. A real 5 star service ⭐️ Peter Copland2025-07-02Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Called out to David for help with an ongoing shoulder complaint, he assessed and set up a weekly exercise programme which eased my pain and gave me strength back, within a few weeks I was feeling much better, also gave me good advice on a historical back complaint as well, I would recommend David to anyone who has been struggling with joint pain, lack of movement issues, he also has excellent one to one skills making you feel at ease from the first meeting. john kyle2025-07-01Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I cannot recommend David highly enough. I thought I was going to have to just put up with a very sore back but even after my first appointment it made such a difference. David is excellent, he puts you at ease and talks you through everything. I had 5 appointments with him and he gave me some exercises to do at home and I’m now pain free. I’m so pleased I found him and appreciate what he did. Thank you. Anne Gallagher anne gallagher2025-06-16Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. David almost immediately diagnosed my hip problems. I only needed two sessions and my hip is now completely pain free. Excellent, friendly service. David keeps in touch to check progress. Would thoroughly recommend. Ruth O'Brien2025-05-26Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I highly recommend David Musgrave at Hamilton Physiotherapy. I have suffered from recurrent back pain for a long time, but after a few sessions with David, I now feel the best I have in years. David took time to assess the root cause of my pain and prepared a clear plan to achieve my desired outcome. I am confident that the exercises David has tailored for me will keep my back healthy for the long term. Andrew Richmond2025-05-23Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Have been with David at Hamilton Physiotherapy for the past three months, after post surgery shoulder, neck and arm pain. The initial excersises David asked me to carry out proved to be quite difficult, but slowly after some grim determination and encouragement I now find them fairly easy and quite enjoyable. I can now sleep better at night and most of all pain free. I would not hesitate to recommend David to anyone. kenneth burt2025-05-09Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. David helped me with my neck and back problems (20+ years of working in the office resulting in bad posture & bad habits). He diagnosed and addressed the issues with a set of exercises that I've added to my daily (and gym) routine. The posture issues, neck and back pains are now gone, and my golf has improved as well! I would highly recommend David's service. Marek Kalwasinski2025-03-10Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. David helped me with my lower back problem. He was very friendly, professional, informative and thorough. Thanks to David now I know what to do should my back problem comes back again in the future - hopefully not for a very very long time. All the hints and tips and exercises that David shared were all very helpful. putri hirota2025-02-20Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I hurt a joint in my back at an exercise class just a few days before my ski holiday and needed treatment at short notice. I saw David as an emergency and after just 2 sessions, supported by great advice & follow up exercises, I was pain free and able to enjoy my ski trip. Lorna McDougall2025-01-27Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I went to David after seeing a doctor who referred me to the NHS clinic in Hamilton to see a physiotherapist. He told me I had strained the muscles in my lower back .if it did not get better in 6 weeks go back and see the doctor who would refer me again. Because of the pain I decided to see a private physio and after having a chat with David on the phone I made an appointment . The best thing i ever did . The first appointment he told me it wasnt my back it was my hip .He then explained what the issue was and showed me the structure of the hip and how the issue was occurring . At every appointment he made me feel very at ease .he gave me exercises to do at home and work which did get rid of the pain .A big thankyou BUAVOX . Christine Tannock2025-01-07
