Working with your physiotherapist

Arrange an experienced musculoskeletal physiotherapist before surgery where possible, so your first post-operative appointment is not delayed. They will assess progress, guide exercises and decide when it is safe to advance.

Professional supervision is particularly important after ligament reconstruction, meniscus repair, cartilage treatment and osteotomy, where progressing too quickly may jeopardise healing. Bring the rehabilitation protocol supplied with your discharge information to your first appointment.
