Hip or knee replacement
Returning home often brings questions about walking, stairs and transfers. The clinician follows the precautions and timetable given by the surgical team.
Physiotherapy area
Orthopaedics and recovery after surgery
Rehabilitation of movement after surgery or a musculoskeletal condition.
After surgery, the real stairs
Someone may walk in a hospital corridor yet hesitate at the three steps to their building. At home, the clinician can work on that exact passage using walking aids and the movement restrictions given by the surgeon.
How a home visit worksWhen to ask for advice
Hip, knee or shoulder surgery, a fracture or an injury can make everyday movement difficult.
Fracture or shoulder surgery
Dressing, washing or reaching for an object can become difficult. Movement work follows restrictions and the stage of healing.
How care is planned
Assessment takes account of the operation report, weight-bearing instructions and prescribed precautions. The programme progresses with recovery and personal goals.
- Movement and strength
- Walking and transfers
- Returning to everyday activities
Before you get in touch
At first contact, mention that you need care after surgery or injury. Keep the prescription and discharge summary for the clinician: weight-bearing instructions and movement restrictions will guide the assessment.
Common questions
When can I start after surgery?
The timing depends on the operation and the surgeon’s instructions. Mention the discharge date and restrictions when arranging an assessment.
What if I cannot put full weight on my leg?
The clinician follows the weight-bearing instruction. Sessions can address transfers, walking aids and movements allowed during that stage.
