Pre and Post Surgery Rehabilitation Across Northwich, Knutsford, and Cheshire
Specialist physiotherapy to support recovery before and after surgery.
Specialist Pre and Post Operative Rehabilitation
Surgery can be an important step in recovery, but outcomes are often strongly influenced by the rehabilitation that happens before and after the procedure. Preparing the body ahead of surgery and following a structured rehabilitation plan afterwards can improve recovery, restore confidence, and support long-term function.
At The Injury & Performance Clinic, we provide expert pre and post surgery rehabilitation in Knutsford. Our physiotherapists use evidence-based approaches to guide you through a clear, step-by-step recovery plan tailored to your surgery, symptoms, and goals.
Why Pre and Post Surgery Rehabilitation Matters
Rehabilitation plays a vital role both before and after surgery. Preparing the body in advance can improve strength, mobility, and confidence, while post-operative rehabilitation focuses on restoring movement, rebuilding strength, and returning to normal activity safely.
Pre-operative rehabilitation may help to:
Improve strength and mobility before surgery
Reduce post-operative pain and stiffness
Support faster and more confident recovery
Post-operative rehabilitation helps to:
Restore joint movement and muscle strength
Reduce swelling and pain
Improve walking, balance, and function
Support a safe return to work, sport, and daily life
Why Choose Us?
Recovering from surgery requires more than a generic exercise plan. It requires guidance, progression, and reassurance at every stage.
