Post-TKR & THR Rehabilitation

Expert Physiotherapy After Joint Replacement Surgery

Whether you've undergone a Total Knee Replacement (TKR) or Total Hip Replacement (THR), a structured rehabilitation program is crucial for full recovery. Post-surgery rehab improves joint mobility, muscle strength, and helps you return to a pain-free, active life.

At Physio Absolute, we provide personalized, evidence-based rehabilitation tailored to your specific joint replacement and recovery pace.
