Pre and Post-Surgery Physiotherapy Rehabilitation in Harroga

If you’re preparing for surgery or already recovering — the right physiotherapy can make a huge difference to your outcome. At Harrogate Physio Rehab, we provide expert pre and post-operative physiotherapy rehabilitation in Harrogate, helping you recover faster, move better, and return to everyday life with confidence.

Whether you’re having a total hip replacement, knee replacement, or ankle surgery, physiotherapy before and after surgery is essential for achieving the best possible results.

Pre-surgery physiotherapy (often called prehab) focuses on preparing your body for the demands of surgery. Going into an operation stronger and more mobile can significantly improve recovery outcomes.

Pre-operative physiotherapy can help to:

• Improve muscle strength around the joint
   
• Increase flexibility and joint control
   
• Enhance cardiovascular fitness
   
• Educate you on post-surgery exercises and expectations
   

By addressing weaknesses before surgery, many patients experience less pain, fewer complications, and a smoother recovery afterwards.

Post-operative physiotherapy is just as important as the surgery itself. After an operation, the body needs structured rehabilitation to restore movement, rebuild strength, and prevent stiffness or long-term limitations.

At Harrogate Physio Rehab, post-surgery rehabilitation typically includes:

• Progressive strength training
   
• Mobility and flexibility exercises
   
• Cardiovascular conditioning
   
• Tailored rehabilitation exercises specific to your surgery
   

Each programme is personalised to your condition, stage of healing, and goals — whether that’s walking comfortably, returning to work, or getting back to sport.

Our pre and post-operative physiotherapy programmes are ideal for patients undergoing:

• Total Hip Replacement
   
• Knee Replacement
   
• Ankle Surgery
   
• Other lower limb orthopaedic procedures
   

We work closely with your recovery timeline to ensure rehabilitation is safe, effective, and appropriately progressed.

No two surgeries — or patients — are the same. That’s why our Harrogate-based physiotherapists use a structured yet flexible rehabilitation approach, focusing on improving physical function, reducing complications, and restoring confidence in movement.

The aim is simple:
✔ Faster recovery
✔ Reduced pain and stiffness
✔ Optimal return to function
