Post-Operative Physiotherapy at our Private Physiotherapy Clinic in Taunton, Somerset
Surgery is the start of recovery, not the end of it. Structured post-operative rehabilitation restores range, strength and confidence within the limits your surgeon has set — with over a decade of trauma, orthopaedic and MSK experience behind every plan.
Rehabilitation after orthopaedic surgery
Your plan follows your surgeon's protocol and your own starting point. Early sessions protect the repair while restoring movement; later phases rebuild strength, control and the specific tasks you need for work, sport or day-to-day life.
Ed began his career in Trauma & Orthopaedics at Musgrove Park Hospital and has since led MSK physiotherapy services in Somerset, so post-surgical caseloads are familiar ground.
Early phase (protection and movement)
Swelling and pain management, safe range of movement, gait re-education and activation work within your surgeon's restrictions.
Later phase (strength and function)
Progressive loading, single-limb control, endurance and a graded return to work, driving, walking or sport.

Post-operative physiotherapy for Somerset patients
Appointments are held in Taunton, convenient for patients discharged from Musgrove Park Hospital and for those travelling from Wellington, Bridgwater and across Somerset. Video appointments can bridge the gap when travel is difficult in the first weeks after surgery.
Each face-to-face appointment includes one week of WhatsApp support for questions between visits — often the difference between a programme being done and being done well.
