Post-operative Rehabilitation Protocols

Your Recovery Plan: Post-Operative Rehabilitation Protocols

Recovery doesn’t end after surgery, it’s just the beginning of your journey back to optimal health and mobility. Dr Ben McGrath’s post-operative rehabilitation protocols are carefully designed to guide you through each step of your recovery, ensuring you regain strength, flexibility, and function in a safe and effective way.

On this page, you’ll find PDF copies of detailed rehabilitation protocols tailored to the specific orthopaedic procedures Dr McGrath performs. These resources provide clear guidance on exercises, activity restrictions, and progress milestones to help you achieve the best possible outcome.

Whether you’re recovering from joint replacement surgery, a ligament reconstruction, or a fracture repair, following these protocols in consultation with your physiotherapist and care team will be an essential part of your recovery.
