Your recovery

Recover safely, rebuild strength and return to what matters

The early stages after surgery can feel daunting. Pain, swelling, stiffness and reduced mobility are common, and even simple tasks such as getting downstairs or travelling across London to a clinic can feel difficult.

At Just Physio, we provide specialist post-operative orthopaedic and musculoskeletal rehabilitation in the comfort of your own home. Our service covers Camberwell, Peckham, Dulwich, Walworth, Elephant and Castle, Clapham and surrounding South London areas.

Your rehabilitation is guided by your operation, current stage of healing and your surgeon's post-operative protocol. We progress mobility, strength and function at the appropriate time, helping you move forward without unnecessarily overloading healing tissues.

From managing swelling and taking your first confident steps through to rebuilding strength, returning to work and eventually resuming running or sport, your rehabilitation progresses with you at every stage of recovery.

Your recovery pathway

A Structured Path From Surgery to Full Function

Control Pain & Swelling

Early rehabilitation focuses on protecting healing tissues, managing post-operative swelling and helping you move safely. Treatment may include gentle soft tissue techniques, elevation guidance and appropriate early movement.

Reactivate Muscles

Surgery can temporarily inhibit the muscles surrounding the operated area. Targeted exercises help restore muscle activation, basic control and stability before heavier strengthening begins.

Return to Activity

Rehabilitation becomes increasingly specific to your goals, from stairs, walking and work to running, gym training or sport. Loading is progressed systematically so you can return with confidence.

Restore Movement

As healing progresses, we gradually restore joint mobility using passive, assisted and active movement appropriate to your surgical protocol, helping reduce stiffness and regain comfortable movement.

Rebuild Strength & Stability

Progressive rehabilitation rebuilds muscle strength, tendon capacity, balance and joint control. Where appropriate, objective strength testing can be used to measure progress and identify remaining differences between sides.

Recovery Guided by Your Surgical Protocol

Your rehabilitation respects the restrictions and milestones set by your surgeon or consultant. Where appropriate, your progress can be aligned with follow-up appointments and post-operative guidance to keep your recovery structured and safe.

Patient experiences

Recovery Stories From Our Patients

“

Having Justin visit me at home in the first few weeks after my knee replacement made a massive difference. The thought of getting into a car or navigating public transport while swollen and on crutches was daunting. He guided me step-by-step through the early swelling management, safe bending, and walking up our stairs with confidence. By the time I had my 6-week surgical follow-up, my consultant was genuinely impressed by my range of motion and quad activation.

“

Following ACL surgery, I was anxious about doing too much too soon or risking the graft. Justin provided the exact structure and reassurance I needed. He aligned every exercise with my consultant's protocol and used dynamometry to objectively track my strength progression week to week. Progressing from gentle swelling control to building single-leg stability in my own living room gave me complete peace of mind. I'm now back running outdoors and feeling stronger than before.
