Hip & knee replacement rehab
A new hip or knee is a big step. The right rehab helps you get the most out of it.
Joint replacement surgery can transform life for people with painful arthritis. Recovery depends a great deal on what happens before and after the operation. We help you prepare, then guide you through regaining movement, strength and confidence so you can walk further, manage stairs and return to the activities you enjoy.
You might notice
- Stiffness and swelling after surgery
- Weakness in the leg and difficulty with stairs
- Reduced confidence walking, especially outdoors
- Difficulty getting in and out of a chair, bath or car
- Wanting to return to golf, tennis, walking holidays or the gym
Common causes
- Planned hip replacement
- Planned knee replacement
- Partial knee replacement
How we work on hip & knee replacement rehab.
- 01
Prepare
Strength and advice before surgery so the first weeks afterwards are easier.
- 02
Early recovery
Movement, swelling control and walking practice, with home visits if travel is hard.
- 03
Strength and balance
Progressive work to rebuild the leg and your confidence on stairs and uneven ground.
- 04
Back to the things you love
Golf, tennis, walking holidays or the gym, built up safely.
- Pre-surgery strengthening and advice ("prehab")
- Home visits in the early weeks if travelling is difficult
- A progressive plan to restore movement and strength
- Balance and walking practice to rebuild confidence
- Support to return to the activities that matter to you
Most people are walking with less support within a few weeks and continue to improve for several months. Strength and confidence keep improving with consistent exercise well beyond that.
Elite-level care, on your case.
The people who have looked after Premier League footballers and Premiership rugby players will look after you. Same standards, same attention to detail, whatever brings you in.

Your first appointment.
01
We listen
Your first appointment lasts an hour with a senior physiotherapist. We start by understanding your symptoms, your history, your work and what you want to get back to.
02
We find the cause
A thorough hands-on assessment of how you move, so we treat the cause and not just where it hurts.
03
You leave with a plan
You will understand what is wrong, how long it should take, and exactly what to do next, including treatment and exercises to start straight away.
Good questions.
Can you see me at home?
Yes. Home visits across London are available, which can be especially helpful in the first weeks after surgery.
Is it worth doing exercise before my operation?
Yes. Being stronger before surgery often makes the first weeks of recovery easier.
