By type of surgery.

Your surgeon's protocol sets the limits and the timing. This is where the work usually focuses.

• ACL reconstruction

  Protecting the graft as your surgeon instructs, then full movement, thigh strength and tests before sport.

  Your surgeon’s limits on bending and load come first, then movement, strength and control.

• Knee or hip replacement

  Walking, stairs and getting up from a chair within your precautions, then strength and balance.

• Fracture fixation

  Once your surgeon allows it: movement around the healing bone, then strength and weight-bearing, step by step.
