- Set goals for your recovery.
- Provide physiotherapy to help you recover the mobility, flexibility, stability and strength of your knee joint.

Helping you get moving again
Proper rehabilitation is vital after knee surgery. Once you’ve reached the right stage of your healing journey, our physiotherapy treatments will focus on restoring the strength and mobility of your knee. We will put together a comprehensive recovery plan for you. Where appropriate this will involve:
- Soft tissue treatments
- Mobilisations and exercises
- Strapping
- Strength and mobility drills
- Muscle, joint and other soft tissue release
The work we do will promote tissue healing and improve blood flow around your knee and the rest of your body – speeding recovery and enhancing general wellbeing and health.
Where appropriate, we’ll also provide advice on safe and effective exercises that you can do on your own.
The latest tech to help you heal safely and quickly
