If ever you need surgery, please remember that surgery is only one part of sorting out your injury.

To ensure a full recovery make sure that you are rehabilitated properly before and after having any operation – it will make a huge difference.

Pre-op care makes sure you arrive at your surgery in as good a state as possible, and you’ll recover quicker as a result.

Post operative rehabilitation is important because whilst surgery may repair the damaged tissue at the heart of the problem it may not correct the way in which your body has adapted to the problem. It deals with the swelling and scarring left over from surgery, the associated problems that developed as a result of your injury and helps ensure the restoration of normal function.

Too many people still consider surgery to be a complete “fix” and unfortunately continue to have problems further down the line.

We will, of course, do all this in constant communication with your Specialist.
