Surgery Rehabilitation
Recovery after surgery requires precision and care to ensure you build up strength and mobility, while being fully aware of any limitations you may have.
Post Operative Rehabilitation
After surgery, surgeons recommend physiotherapy as the most essential component to the rehabilitation of your new or improved body part. Surgery corrects structural problems, and now the body must relearn function to prevent another injury from occurring. Rehabilitation is a program which involves re-establishing optimal joint motion and function, specific muscle strength and then incorporating this into overall function and return to sport training.
Post surgery rehab can be a long process which requires both hands on physiotherapy and gym based strength and balance training. We know the process inside and out, having been on both sides and we will design the ideal program for your rehabilitation. With our state of the art gym and experienced physiotherapists in Balgowlah you can sleep easy knowing you are in the best hands to return you to what you love doing.

I had the pleasure of working with Jackson after twisting my wrist at work, and I couldn’t be more grateful for his expertise. He quickly assessed the injury and developed a treatment plan that helped me recover faster than I expected. Jackson was professional, attentive, and genuinely cared about my progress. Thanks to him, I’m back to full strength and pain-free. Highly recommend! Barbara S2025-04-01Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. If all physiotherapists were like Dan, no one would dread their appointments! Super sweet, incredibly patient, and explains things so clearly that even my brain (which sometimes lags like bad WiFi) can understand. He gives great attention to detail and somehow makes rehab feel less like a chore. Highly recommend—your muscles will thank you! 🤩 Good Evins2025-03-19Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Proactive rehabilitation! So glad I was referred to Dan.

Highly recommend Fixio to anyone in need of effective physiotheraphy Cara Tobin2025-02-27Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Fixio has been an incredible find. I started doing the Pilates with Jaeme (which is fabulous). I then saw Jaeme for a niggling pain in my wrist and later my ankle. Jaeme is so professional and knowledgeable and goes above and beyond to help and guide. I’m now pain free and couldn’t recommend this clinic more. Jaeme genuinely cares about her patients and is fascinated by the human body and how/why everything works. All the gold stars.

Always had issues with my shoulder, since coming here, seeing Jaeme I now have full mobility back since my injury and hopefully soon get back into training hard again.

Pre Surgical Preparation
Pre surgical preparation is also known as pre-habilitation or prehab. It is a pre-surgery regime to strengthen your body and get it into optimal shape which is one of the strongest predictors for a full recovery after surgery. It is common for pain and weakness to present in tandem, however recovery from surgery will require strength. In prehab you build strength and stability where you need it and we ensure that you get the most out of your rehabilitation.
