If I have surgery, why do I need physio?

Physiotherapy is often a very important part of post op recovery to help regain muscle strength, joint range of movement (especially if immobilised in a cast or boot after surgery for a period of time), cardiovascular fitness, proprioception (stability / balance)  and confidence to return to normal activities.  We can also advise you regarding which activities are safe to return to at each stage of your recovery.
