We work closely with you, your family, your physiotherapists and your surgical team to create a personalised recovery plan that promotes healing, reduces complications and supports your journey back to everyday life.
Hip & Knee Replacement Recovery
Hip and knee replacements are common orthopedic surgeries designed to relieve pain, increase mobility and improve quality of life. While highly effective, the recovery period requires careful management to avoid complications and ensure long-term success.
Typical symptoms and challenges during early recovery may include:
-
Post-operative pain or swelling
-
Limited mobility
-
Difficulty dressing, bathing or moving safely
-
Fatigue and reduced stamina
-
Increased risk of infection or blood clots
-
Challenges maintaining wound care
Having specialist support at home can significantly improve recovery outcomes, reduce risks and provide reassurance during this important phase.
