Expert Virtual Rehab Following Orthopaedic Surgery

At The Heal Hut, we provide structured, specialist-led post-operative physiotherapy delivered entirely online. Our remote service is designed to guide patients through a safe, progressive recovery following surgery — whether it’s a joint replacement, ligament reconstruction, tendon repair, arthroscopy, or spinal procedure.

With clinical oversight at every step, we help you regain mobility, strength, and confidence — from early recovery to full functional return — without needing in-person visits.

Our approach mirrors gold-standard rehabilitation protocols, adapted for virtual delivery by experienced post-op physiotherapists. Every session is one-to-one and fully tailored to your procedure, stage of healing, and personal recovery goals.

Typical Rehab Structure (Example)

This varies based on your operation and surgeon’s protocol, but a typical progression may look like:

Phase 1 – Early Recovery (Weeks 1–4)

• Pain and swelling management

• Range of motion restoration

• Protected loading (per op protocol)

• Gait retraining and safe mobility techniques

• Patient education on precautions and healing timelines

Phase 2 – Activation & Control (Weeks 4–8)

• Muscle activation (e.g. quads, glutes, rotator cuff)

• Neuromuscular re-education

• Early strength work (bodyweight → resistance)

• Balance, proprioception & joint control drills

Phase 3 – Strength & Function (Weeks 8–12+)

• Progressive strength exercises (unilateral, closed/open chain)

• Functional tasks (stairs, transfers, reaching overhead)

• Conditioning and endurance work

• Manual handling or sport-specific prep (if appropriate)

Phase 4 – Return to Sport or Daily Life (from ~Week 12 onward)

• Higher-level strengthening and power development

• Dynamic balance and movement retraining

• Return-to-work or sport planning

• Discharge readiness testing and summary
