What will my physiotherapy involve?

Your consultant and physiotherapist will give you a tailored programme based on your needs. It will aim to get you stable and improve your range of movement first, and then build up your strength and endurance. It’s quite likely to involve things like a low-impact exercise programme while you move from 2 crutches to 1 and then none. You may be given exercises to do in a pool, possibly an exercise bike, around 2 weeks after surgery or a cross trainer at around 4 weeks.
