We recognise low back pain can be significantly impacting to life, work and sleep. Whether you have acute or chronic pain we can help to reduce your symptoms and return you fitter and stronger than previously

For example if you are having a planned totally knee replacement it is helpful to know what exercises are currently beneficial to optimise your muscles which need to be strong post operatively.

When is a good time to access physio post operatively? As soon as possible, but usually around 2 weeks post op is a good time to start working together
