Post-Operative Physiotherapy
Surgery is just the beginning of your recovery journey. At Hi Movement, Kristen provides structured, evidence-based post-operative rehabilitation to help you regain strength, mobility, and confidence — so you can return to the life and activities you enjoy.
Joint Replacements
Comprehensive rehabilitation following total knee, hip, and shoulder replacements. We guide you through each stage of recovery with progressive exercises designed to restore range of motion and functional strength.
ACL Reconstruction
Specialised ACL reconstruction rehab with milestone-based progression and return-to-sport testing. Our programs are tailored to your graft type, sport demands, and personal goals.
Rotator Cuff Repair
Carefully staged shoulder rehabilitation following rotator cuff surgery. We balance tissue healing timelines with progressive loading to restore full shoulder function and strength.
Spinal Surgery
Guided recovery after spinal procedures including discectomy, fusion, and decompression surgery. Our approach focuses on safe movement re-education, core stability, and long-term spinal health.
Your Recovery Journey
Successful post-operative recovery follows a structured pathway. Where possible, we begin with pre-operative preparation — optimising your strength and mobility before surgery to set the foundation for a smoother recovery.
In the early post-operative phase, the focus is on managing pain and swelling, protecting the surgical site, and gently restoring movement. As healing progresses, we introduce progressive rehabilitation with targeted strengthening, balance, and functional exercises tailored to your surgery and lifestyle.
The final stage is return to function — whether that means getting back to sport, returning to work, or simply enjoying everyday activities without pain or limitation. Every milestone is guided by evidence-based protocols and your individual progress.
Conditions We Treat
At Hi Movement, we provide post-operative rehabilitation for a wide range of surgical procedures. These include total and partial knee replacements, total hip replacements, ACL and PCL reconstructions, rotator cuff repairs and shoulder stabilisations, arthroscopic surgery (knee, shoulder, hip), spinal procedures (discectomy, laminectomy, fusion), and fracture fixation (plates, screws, and intramedullary nails).
Kristen works closely with your surgeon's protocols and guidelines, ensuring your rehabilitation is safe, progressive, and aligned with the best possible outcome for your recovery.
