Patient journey
What to expect
Consultation & preparation
Wear comfortable clothing and trainers you can move and exercise in. Bring any scan reports, surgical protocols, or GP letters, and a note of your main goals. For home-based rehabilitation, have a clear space and any equipment you already own to hand during your assessment.
During treatment
Aftercare
You will leave with a tailored exercise programme, recordings or instructions for each movement, and clear guidance on how often to train. Some muscle soreness in the first 24–48 hours is normal. We schedule a reassessment to review your progress and progress your loading at the next visit.

FAQ
Common
questions
What is exercise rehabilitation and how does it differ from going to the gym?
Exercise rehabilitation is a structured, individually prescribed programme designed by a physiotherapist to restore strength, mobility, and function after injury, surgery, or pain. Unlike general training, every exercise is chosen for your diagnosis, stage of recovery, and goals, then progressed safely as your tissues adapt and your capacity returns.
Do I need a GP referral to start exercise rehabilitation?
No. UK physiotherapists are first-contact practitioners, so you can self-refer and book directly through our Cliniko online booking — no GP referral is needed. If you are claiming through private health insurance, your insurer may ask for a referral, so check your policy before your first appointment.
Can I do my rehabilitation at home instead of at the clinic?
Yes. Where regular clinic attendance is difficult, we deliver the same evidence-based programme as home-based rehabilitation. You are taught each exercise, given clear instructions and recordings, and reviewed remotely so your programme is progressed safely. Many patients combine occasional clinic visits with a home-led routine between them.
How long will it take to recover with exercise rehabilitation?
It depends on the condition and how it responds to loading. Acute injuries often improve over several weeks, while post-surgical or long-standing problems may need a few months of progressive work. Tissue adaptation takes time; we set realistic timelines at your assessment and reassess progress at every review.
Is exercise rehabilitation safe after surgery?
Yes, when guided by a physiotherapist who respects your surgeon's protocol. We start within the loading limits set after your operation and progress strength, mobility, and stability in stages as healing allows. This staged approach follows NICE guidance and protects the repair while rebuilding the capacity you need to return to normal activity.
