Specialist Post-Surgical Recovery in Ashford
Undergoing orthopaedic surgery is only the first step toward reclaiming your quality of life. The success of any surgical procedure—whether a joint replacement, ligament repair, or spinal decompression—relies heavily on the quality and consistency of your post-operative rehabilitation.
At Physio One Kent, we coordinate closely with orthopaedic surgical protocols to manage swelling, safely mobilize surgical scar tissue, rebuild atrophied musculature, and guide you through progressive milestones until you achieve complete functional recovery.
Surgeries & Procedures We Rehabilitate
Total Knee & Hip Arthroplasty (Replacements)
Milestone-driven protocols to restore knee flexion/extension, gait mechanics, and independent stairs navigation.
Shoulder Surgeries (Rotator Cuff & Subacromial Decompression)
Carefully timed progression from passive range of motion to active scapular strengthening and overhead function.
Spinal Decompressions, Discectomy & Fusions
Gentle neural mobilization, abdominal wall stabilization, and ergonomic retraining to protect the surgical site.
Fracture Fixations & Tendon Repairs
Graduated weight-bearing protocols, joint mobilization, and progressive loading following ORIF and Achilles repair surgeries.

Stage 1 - Early Protection & Swelling Control (Weeks 1-3)
Gentle passive range-of-motion, ice compression, and circulatory activation. -

Eliminating scar tissue restrictions and re-establishing neuromuscular connection in supporting muscle groups. -

Weight-bearing balance exercises, sit-to-stand endurance, and posture correction. -
Stage 4 - Complete Independence & Sport / Work Return (Weeks 12+)
High-level functional testing, advanced loading, and long-term joint preservation strategies.
