WHAT AFFECTS POST-SURGERY RECOVERY?

Recovery after surgery depends on the procedure, your health, and your rehab. Issues like stiffness, weakness, and pain can slow progress without support.

    • Pain or discomfort around the surgical area

    • Swelling and inflammation

    • Reduced range of motion or stiffness

    • Muscle weakness or loss of strength

    • Difficulty with daily movements like walking, lifting, or reaching

  • Several factors can impact how quickly and effectively you recover after surgery. Some of the most common include:

    • Limited movement or prolonged inactivity

    • Poor adherence to rehab or home exercises

    • Ongoing swelling or unmanaged pain

    • Scar tissue restrictions

    • Returning to activity too early or too aggressively

    • Underlying health conditions or previous injuries

  • We support recovery across a wide range of surgical procedures, helping you regain function safely and effectively. Common cases we treat include:

    • Joint replacements such as hip, knee, and shoulder

    • Ligament repairs including ACL and other reconstructions

    • Spinal procedures such as discectomy or fusion

    • Fracture repairs and surgical stabilisation

    • Tendon repairs including rotator cuff and Achilles

    • Arthroscopic surgeries involving the shoulder, knee, or hip

How do we approach post-surgery rehab?

Post surgery rehab begins with a detailed assessment to understand your procedure, current limitations, and recovery goals. From there, we build a structured plan to improve movement, reduce discomfort, and restore strength. Treatment may include:

  • A person receives physical therapy, stretching arm; mirrored reflection.

    Active Release Technique

    Active Release Technique (ART) is a hands-on method used to address tight or overactive muscles in areas like the neck, shoulders, and upper back. Using controlled pressure and movement, it helps reduce restriction, improve blood flow, and ease muscle tension that may affect movement and overall comfort.

    Dry Needling

    Dry needling is used to target tight trigger points in the neck and shoulders that may be contributing to tension or movement restrictions. The technique creates a small response in the muscle to help it relax, reduce irritation, and improve mobility, moving feel easier and more controlled.

    Exercise Therapy

    As your recovery progresses, we guide you through targeted rehab exercises to improve balance, posture, coordination, and control. These exercises help retrain movement patterns, reduce discomfort, and support long-term recovery, making everyday movements feel more stable and efficient.

    Balance & Gaze Retraining

    We use targeted exercises to retrain your balance system and improve coordination between your eyes, head, and body. This includes gaze stabilization and posture control techniques designed to reduce dizziness, improve steadiness, and help you feel more confident with movement in daily life.

Vestibular Physio FAQ

  • Vestibular physiotherapy is a specialised form of treatment designed to help with dizziness, vertigo, and balance disorders. It focuses on retraining the brain and inner ear to improve stability, reduce symptoms, and restore normal movement.

  • Vestibular physio is effective for conditions like BPPV (benign paroxysmal positional vertigo), vestibular neuritis, labyrinthitis, vestibular migraines, and general balance disorders. It can also help reduce symptoms from concussions or motion sensitivity.

  • If you experience frequent dizziness, unsteadiness, spinning sensations, or balance issues, especially when turning your head or changing positions, you may benefit from vestibular physio. A proper assessment at Elite HP can confirm the best course of action.

  • Your session begins with a detailed assessment of your symptoms, eye movements, balance, and posture. Treatment may include repositioning maneuvers (like the Epley), gaze stabilization exercises, balance training, and manual therapy if needed.

  • Many people notice improvement within 1–3 sessions, especially with conditions like BPPV. However, more complex or long-term vestibular issues may take a few weeks of consistent treatment. At Elite HP, your plan is tailored to your specific condition and goals.

  • Yes, vestibular physiotherapy is one of the most effective treatments for vertigo. Techniques like canalith repositioning can resolve BPPV quickly, while exercises and rehab help reduce other causes of dizziness and improve your balance over time.

  • No referral is needed to book an appointment at Elite HP. You can schedule a session directly, and we’ll guide you through an expert assessment to find the root cause of your symptoms and create a personalised treatment plan.
