Post-Operative Physiotherapy in St Albans
Redrock Physio
Your journey from surgery to strength—guided by expert physiotherapy care every step of the way
Guiding Your Post-Surgery Progress
Whether you've just had surgery or are still struggling with movement months later, physiotherapy can help you get back to feeling and functioning like yourself again. At Redrock Physio, we work with people recovering from a wide range of operations—guiding rehabilitation through each phase of recovery with clarity, consistency, and care.
Common Surgeries We Support
We regularly support patients recovering from a variety of orthopaedic procedures, each requiring its own rehab timeline and treatment priorities. These include:
-
Joint Replacements: Hip and knee replacements are among the most common procedures needing structured rehab for mobility, strength, and gait retraining.
-
Shoulder Surgeries: Including rotator cuff repairs, shoulder decompressions, and total shoulder replacements. These require progressive rehab focused on range, stability, and control.
-
Spinal Surgeries: Post-operative care for spinal decompression, fusion, or discectomy focuses on posture, core control, and safe return to movement.
-
Tendon & Ligament Repairs: ACL reconstruction, Achilles tendon repairs, and patellar or elbow tendon procedures benefit from phased strengthening and proprioceptive rehab.
-
Arthroscopic Procedures: Including keyhole surgery to the knee, shoulder, hip or ankle. Physio aids recovery by restoring movement and preventing muscle inhibition.
-
Nerve Decompressions: Such as carpal tunnel or brachial plexus surgery, where mobility and neural mobility need careful support.


What to Expect
Your rehab journey with us begins with a full assessment—looking at pain, strength, flexibility, and movement control. We’ll help you understand where you are in your recovery timeline, what’s expected, and how we can help you progress safely and confidently.
Each plan is bespoke and evolves with your recovery. We use a combination of:
-
Hands-on treatment: to reduce stiffness and pain
-
Targeted rehabilitation to rebuild strength and function
-
Reformer Pilates for control and movement confidence
-
Shockwave therapy (if clinically appropriate)
-
Guided return to everyday activities, work or sport
Why Redrock Physio?
We regularly treat patients who have been referred following surgery by respected orthopaedic consultants across Hertfordshire, including specialists like Mr James Langdon and others at Spire and local NHS and private hospitals. This collaboration ensures a joined-up approach to care—especially when early communication and continuity matter most.
We believe in proactive, hands-on care that adapts to your needs—not a one-size-fits-all rehab sheet. Our clinic has a dedicated rehab gym and the expertise to work with you at every stage of your recovery. We’re also linked with consultants and surgical teams across the region, so if something isn’t improving as expected, we can help coordinate further review or imaging quickly.
Whether your surgery was recent or some time ago, it’s never too late to start moving better. Let’s build your recovery together.
