Post-Operative Rehab at Home in Leeds: A Simple Week-by-Week Guide

Recovering after an operation can feel overwhelming — especially when you’re back home. Home physiotherapy can help you rebuild strength, mobility, and confidence with a structured plan.

Week 1–2: protect and restore movement

• Manage swelling and pain with safe movement

• Gentle range-of-motion exercises

• Walking practice with the right support

• Advice on stairs, transfers, and daily activities

Week 3–6: build strength and control

• Progressive strengthening for legs and core

• Balance retraining

• Improving walking speed and endurance

• Confidence-building practice for real-life tasks

Week 6+: return to independence

• Higher-level balance and functional training

• Reducing reliance on walking aids where appropriate

Every recovery is different. Your plan should match your surgery type, your health history, and your home environment.
