Resources

Rehabilitation programme

A staged, seven-chapter rehabilitation programme covering everything from sling and wound care through to advanced strengthening.

Our philosophy

Rehabilitation is part of the operation

A technically perfect repair still fails if the tissue is loaded too early or never loaded at all. Our protocol protects the repair through the phase when it is most vulnerable, then progressively restores motion and strength.

If you are travelling to us, this programme is what we send to your therapist at home, along with a written prescription.
