Assess
A detailed history and a thorough examination of movement, strength and the affected area. You leave knowing what is wrong, why it happened and exactly what we are going to do about it.

Post-Operative Rehabilitation in London
Structured rehabilitation after orthopaedic surgery, worked to your surgeon’s protocol and to the pace the healing tissue needs, because the operation fixes the structure but what you do over the following months is what decides the outcome.
What happens at your first appointment?
Your first visit is a full 60-minute assessment: a detailed history, then testing of how you move, how strong you are and what the painful area is actually doing. We explain the working diagnosis in plain English and agree a plan with you before any treatment starts.
You leave with a written summary and a home programme, emailed the same day and loaded into the Move Health app so the technique stays right between visits.
Post-operative rehabilitation can help you to:
Restore range of movement safely
Early range work within your surgical protocol prevents the stiffness that is far harder to reverse later. We know which restrictions are protecting the repair and which are simply protective habit, and we work accordingly.
Rebuild strength that was lost around the operation
Muscle is lost quickly after surgery and does not return on its own. Progressive, graded loading is what rebuilds it, and it is the single largest determinant of how well you function a year after the operation.
Stay on track with your surgeon’s protocol
We work to the protocol you were given rather than around it. Where the timeline says no loading for six weeks, that is the limit we work within, and we make the most of what is permitted inside it.
Know when you are genuinely ready to progress
Feeling ready and being ready are different. Where useful we add objective strength and asymmetry testing so progression decisions are based on measurement rather than optimism, which is what keeps setbacks rare.

I saw Amanda for a problem I've been having with a painful shoulder. She explained to me what the problem was, did a thorough treatment session and gave me some exercises to do to improve it. Very professional and friendly, I highly recommend her.
I first visited Amanda following a maisonneuve fracture. That day I walked 107 steps in a camboot with two crutches. I have visited weekly. Yesterday I walked 13,315 steps (no crutches, no boot). The transformation is truly amazing.
I booked with Michelle for my first appointment. When I stood up I said to her it feels like heaven as my continuous back pain had totally gone. I was totally pain free for 7 hours so bless you Michelle.
Excellent treatment of my lower back and related sciatica injuries from CrossFit. Definitely my go-to therapist when in dire need of pain relief.

From injury to longevity
the Origin Health journey
Most people arrive with something that hurts. What happens after that is the part most clinics leave to chance. We treat the problem, rebuild the capacity you lost, then keep you strong enough that it stays fixed.
Treat
Hands-on manual therapy chosen for your presentation, with Western medical acupuncture or soft-tissue work added where they help. Treatment is not the goal in itself: it opens the window to move and load properly.
Rebuild
Progressive, coached exercise rehabilitation restores the strength and load tolerance you lost, with full gym facilities at both clinics. This is the stage that decides whether the fix lasts.
Stay well
Each follow-up measures you against your own baseline. We discharge you when you have the strength and the tools to manage alone, with clinical Pilates, sports massage and golf screening on hand to keep you there.
The starting point for better health. Our clinics work together to take you from injury, through recovery and performance, to the kind of health that holds up for decades. One team, one plan, one record of where you started.

FAQ
FAQs
When should I start physiotherapy after surgery?
This depends entirely on the operation and your surgeon’s protocol. Some procedures begin rehabilitation within days, others require a protected period first. Bring your protocol to the first appointment and we will work to it precisely.
How long does rehabilitation take after an operation?
Most joint replacements and ligament reconstructions need three to nine months of structured work, with the later stages being the ones people most often skip. Smaller arthroscopic procedures are usually faster. Tissue healing sets the timeline and cannot be shortened.
Can you work with my surgeon’s rehabilitation protocol?
Yes, and we prefer to. Bring the protocol, your operation notes and any consultant guidance to your first appointment. We work within those restrictions and make the most of what is permitted at each stage rather than second-guessing them.
How do I know when I can return to sport?
Time since surgery alone is a poor guide. We assess strength, symmetry and functional capacity, and where useful add objective VALD testing to compare the operated side against your own uninjured side. That gives a far more reliable answer than feel.
