Following your protocol
Every surgeon sets restrictions on movement, weight-bearing and loading for good reason. We work to those instructions and adjust the pace to your swelling, range and strength rather than a generic timetable.
Post-surgical recovery · Botley, Oxford
Post-surgical physiotherapy & rehabilitation in Oxford.
The operation is only half the job — what you do in the months afterwards decides the result. At our Botley clinic, a few minutes' drive from central Oxford, a chartered, HCPC-registered physiotherapist builds a structured recovery plan that follows your surgeon's protocol.

Understanding your condition
Beyond the early weeks
Many people are discharged once they can walk or lift the arm, long before strength has returned. We continue rehabilitation through the strength and capacity phases so you return to work, sport and exercise properly, not just adequately.

Common questions
- When can I start physiotherapy after surgery?
- Often within days, depending on the operation and your surgeon's protocol. Early guided movement and strength work usually improve the final outcome; we work within whatever restrictions your surgeon has set.
- Do you follow my surgeon's protocol?
- Yes. Bring any post-operative instructions or protocols to your first appointment and we follow them, adapting the detail to how your recovery is actually progressing.
- Which operations do you rehabilitate?
- Knee and hip replacement, ACL and meniscal surgery, shoulder repairs and decompression, Achilles and ankle surgery, and spinal surgery rehabilitation.
- Do I need a GP referral?
- No. You can self-refer directly for assessment and treatment.
