Knee

Physiotherapy also helps with sports injuries and returning to sport, getting ready for an operation and recovering after hip, knee and shoulder surgery.

Your first visit

The first appointment covers your history and a physical examination, with strength testing where it helps. You leave with a clear explanation of the problem and an exercise program to start at home. Follow-up visits review your progress and move the program forward.
