Recovery after surgery can be challenging as we have to relearn how to do tasks we may have found easy prior to surgery. Daily tasks such as sit to stand, bed transfers and getting in and out of the car can become extremely difficult.  At Encompass Rehab, our Physiotherapists have the skill set to assess and identify all the areas of rehabilitation that are required to get you back up to your full potential.   When required we will refer on for relevant medical assessment.

Our treatments involve : tailored home exercise programmes for increasing joint range of movement and strengthening, functional rehabilitation of daily tasks and pain management.
