Home Exercise Programmes

After your surgery, your therapist will give you exercises to help with your recovery.

These exercises can help you improve your movement, build strength and become more confident with everyday activities.

Below, you will find a range of exercise programmes for different types of surgery. Please only complete the exercises your therapist has advised you to do.

Your therapist will explain which exercises are right for you, how often to do them and if there are any movements you should avoid.

If you have any questions or are unsure about your exercises, please speak to your therapist.
