Recovering from surgery requires a carefully structured rehabilitation programme that respects healing timelines while progressively restoring strength, mobility, and function. At The Health Phyx, our physiotherapists work closely with your surgeon to ensure your post-operative rehabilitation follows the recommended protocols and is tailored to your specific procedure.

We commonly manage rehabilitation following orthopaedic procedures including ACL reconstructions, total knee and hip replacements, rotator cuff repairs, spinal surgery, and ankle reconstructions. Each of these procedures has specific rehabilitation guidelines that our team follows, while also adapting the programme to your individual progress, pain levels, and goals.

Post-surgery rehabilitation at our Burleigh Heads clinic typically progresses through several phases. The early phase focuses on managing swelling, restoring range of motion, and gentle activation of the surrounding muscles. As healing progresses, we introduce progressive strengthening exercises in our on-site gym, working towards functional tasks and, where appropriate, return to sport or physical activity.

Our private recovery suite provides a comfortable environment for the early stages of rehabilitation, while our gym allows for comprehensive strengthening work as you progress. This means your entire post-operative journey — from the first week after surgery through to full return to activity — can be managed in one location by one consistent team.

We understand that surgery recovery can feel uncertain, and our role is to guide you through each stage with clear explanations, realistic milestones, and ongoing reassurance. Regular communication with your surgeon ensures everyone involved in your care is aligned.
