Recovering from orthopaedic surgery, such as a total hip replacement, knee replacement, or fracture repair, can be a challenging journey. But did you know that your rehabilitation plays a crucial role in ensuring a successful recovery? While hospitals focus on surgical outcomes and often prioritise getting patients home as quickly as possible, this can sometimes lead to rushed discharges and delays in follow-up rehabilitation. For many patients, weeks may pass before their rehab program starts, leaving them unsure of the next steps.
That’s where Project Physio steps in.

Why Is Post-Surgery Rehabilitation So Important?
Rehabilitation after surgery is essential for:
Restoring Mobility: Regular physiotherapy helps regain strength, improve range of motion, and avoid complications like joint stiffness or muscle atrophy.
Reducing Pain and Swelling: Gentle exercises and proper techniques can help manage post-surgical pain and swelling, accelerating the healing process.
Preventing Future Issues: Correct rehab prevents improper movement patterns that could lead to chronic pain or even new injuries down the road.
The Challenge with Hospital-Based Rehabilitation
Hospitals do an excellent job of getting patients back on their feet post-surgery, but there are challenges. Discharge processes are often quick, and while hospitals aim to set patients up with suitable exercises, follow-up appointments can take weeks to organise. This gap can leave patients feeling uncertain about their recovery path, potentially hindering progress.
How Project Physio Can Help
At Project Physio, we specialise in mobile physiotherapy services, meaning we bring the rehab to you, right in the comfort of your home. Here’s why home visits make all the difference:
Personalised Rehab in Your Space
We don't just provide exercises – we help you visualise and perform them in your actual living environment. This means tailoring your program to your specific home setup, whether you have stairs, narrow hallways, or specific furniture arrangements that might affect your mobility. For example, if you're recovering from a knee replacement and need to navigate stairs, we incorporate that into your program from day one.
Immediate, Hands-On Support
There’s no waiting around for weeks before starting your rehabilitation. We come to you, assess your condition, and begin your safe, effective rehab program straight away. This ensures you’re progressing at the right pace for your body, with expert guidance every step of the way.
A Program That Works for You
Because the exercises we prescribe are designed around your home environment, you’ll find it easier to stay consistent. Seeing exactly where and how to do the exercises daily makes it more likely you’ll keep up with your routine independently – a critical factor in achieving a full recovery.
