Treatments & Rehab
Whether you had surgery recently or it has been months—even years—rehabilitation can still help you work towards better movement, strength, and confidence. The pace follows your procedure, precautions, and personal goals.
By appointment only. Bring any surgeon instructions or reports you have.
Surgery is one step. Rehabilitation is the next. It is common to feel unsure how much to move, what discomfort is expected, or whether you should already be further along.
A physiotherapist can assess where you are now, work within your surgeon’s instructions, and plan progressive rehabilitation around the activities you need to regain. That can still be useful months or years after the operation.
We review your surgery, surgeon’s instructions, current symptoms, and the activities you need to regain, then agree a staged plan.
Early work focuses on swelling, comfort, and gentle movement that protects healing tissues without leaving you unnecessarily stiff.
As you progress, the plan builds strength, balance, and the tasks that matter—walking, work, caregiving, exercise, or sport.
Your programme may focus on swelling and comfort, joint movement, strength, walking, balance, and a gradual return to work, exercise, or sport. Timing follows healing and your surgeon’s instructions.
Bring any discharge summary, referral, operative note, imaging report, rehabilitation protocol, brace instructions, and list of current precautions that you have. If you are unsure what is relevant, contact the clinic before your appointment.
Rehabilitation should connect clinical milestones with real goals: getting out of a chair, walking more confidently, returning to work, caring for family, or resuming sport.
If walking in the clinic looks acceptable but stairs at home still feel uncertain, the plan has to include those stairs—not only the exercises that went well today.

“Had an arm surgery last Dec which caused my right arm movement to be limited. Been going for weekly Physio session with Janette since Feb and Pilates... session with Jingwen since Jun. Both of them are very professional and friendly. Have seen huge improvement in my arm range movement now. Would highly recommend!”

Email info@physioclinic.sg if you are unsure which appointment to book.
Requirements vary. Even when a formal referral is not required, your surgical information and post-operative instructions are valuable. Check with your surgeon, insurer, or the clinic if you are unsure.
The right time depends on your procedure and surgeon’s instructions. Some rehabilitation begins soon after surgery, while other movements or loads must wait. If you already have a protocol, bring it. If you have not received clear guidance, contact your surgeon or the clinic before progressing on your own.
Some discomfort can occur as movement and load are reintroduced, but your response should be assessed in context. Tell your physiotherapist what you feel during and after activity. Seek medical advice promptly for unexpected, severe, or worsening symptoms.
There is no single timeline. The procedure, healing, prior health, goals, consistency, and any complications all matter. Your physiotherapist will discuss staged goals and review them with you.
Yes. Bring the protocol or instructions you received. With your consent, the clinic may clarify relevant requirements with your healthcare team where appropriate.
Bring any discharge summary, referral, operative note, imaging report, rehabilitation protocol, brace instructions, and list of current precautions that you have. If you are unsure what is relevant, contact the clinic before your appointment.
Book a post-surgery assessment and bring the instructions or reports you have. We will help you understand the next appropriate stage of rehabilitation.
