Frequently Asked Questions

​

How soon after surgery should I start physio?

For most knee surgeries, you can see a private physiotherapist at two weeks post-op, depending on your surgeon’s protocol. Early movement is critical to avoid joint stiffness.​

 

Can physio help avoid knee surgery?

In many cases—especially for osteoarthritis and other joint related pains—physiotherapy can significantly reduce symptoms and improve function without surgery.
