Surgery and Rehabilitation - The Sterling Physiotherapy Practice

Injured person using crutchesWhatever the operation you have or are about to have undertaken, recovery can be maximised by therapy. Some surgeons provide a protocol or plan of rehabilitation, which can be followed with guidance from your therapist. All post-op rehab gradually builds up your fitness and flexibility to your own goals. You say what you want to achieve, we help you get there.

If you have doubts about the operation that has been recommended, book in for an assessment at the Sterling Physiotherapy Practice. Steve Sterling has worked in hospitals where they have been able to drastically reduce the need for surgery through physiotherapy, and reduced surgeon’s time wasted through meeting patients for whom surgery is not necessary. Having worked in these arenas Steve can quickly identify those problems that will benefit from surgical intervention and therefore save your bills on unnecessary therapy.

Treatments available from the Sterling Physiotherapy Practice for pre and post operation rehabilitation include: specific exercise to speed recovery and maintain/regain fitness levels, acupuncture for pain, massage, joint connective and soft tissue mobilisation, core stability training.

The Sterling Physiotherapy Practice has expanded and now offers a full range of physiotherapy services from the Ashbrooke Sports Club and the Sunderland physiotherapy clinic.
