Just had a hip replacement? A postoperative care and rehabilitation program is crucial for restoring movement, reducing pain, and preventing complications.

With a team of experienced physiotherapists, chiropractors and massage therapists, we deliver evidence-based rehabilitation designed to speed up recovery and enhance long-term mobility.
Why Rehabilitation is Essential After a Hip Replacement

- Faster Recovery – Regain strength and flexibility safely.
- Pain Management – Reduce discomfort and swelling with targeted therapies.
- Improved Mobility – Restore full function and movement in the hip joint.
- Lower Risk of Complications – Minimise risks like blood clots, infections, and muscle imbalances.
- Long-Term Strength – Prevent future injuries and maintain overall joint health.
