Online Physiotherapy After Surgery
Guided rehabilitation and progress reviews aligned with your operation, recovery stage and surgical instructions.
* No payment required for the first consultation.
After surgery, movement and everyday activity may need to be rebuilt within specific restrictions. FitMe Physio offers online rehabilitation guidance for suitable cases, using your surgical instructions and current abilities to plan sessions. Recovery and exercise progression vary between operations and individuals.
What is reviewed after surgery?
The consultation starts with your operation, discharge instructions and the rehabilitation plan agreed by your surgical team.
Review your restrictions
Discuss the surgery date, movement limits, weight-bearing instructions and any complications or follow-up appointments.
Understand current function
Explain pain, stiffness, walking or everyday difficulties and show only movements permitted by your care team.
Plan the next stage
Agree goals that fit your surgical instructions and discuss whether remote or hands-on rehabilitation is appropriate.
How is postoperative rehabilitation progressed?
Rehabilitation differs between operations. Exercise progression follows your surgical guidance, current abilities and response to the plan.
- Guided practice of permitted movement and prescribed exercises.
- Strength and everyday activity work when your recovery stage allows it.
- Progress reviews to discuss symptoms, technique and the need for medical follow-up.
When should you contact your surgical team?
New or worsening symptoms after surgery need advice from the treating team rather than simply more exercise. Wound concerns, fever or a newly painful swollen calf need urgent medical advice. Chest pain or sudden breathing difficulty requires emergency care. Follow the warning signs and contact instructions in your discharge plan.
Prepare your postoperative consultation
Have your surgical instructions ready so the session can stay within your permitted activities.
- Keep the operation details, discharge plan and current exercise programme available.
- Explain prescribed aids, braces and weight-bearing limits.
- Choose a supported camera setup and arrange assistance if your existing care plan requires it.

Questions about online rehabilitation after surgery
When can I begin online physiotherapy?
The timing depends on the operation and your surgical team's instructions. Share the plan before starting so permitted activities and assistance needs are clear.
Can you use the exercises from my hospital plan?
Your prescribed routine can be reviewed during the consultation. Any progression must remain consistent with your surgeon's restrictions and follow-up advice.
Can all postoperative checks happen online?
No. Wound review, some physical examinations and other medical checks may require in-person care. Video rehabilitation complements those appointments.
Is there a fixed recovery programme for every operation?
No. Recovery stages and restrictions vary by procedure and person. Goals and exercise progression should follow your clinical plan.
