Surgery Assessment & Rehabilitation
Preparing your body before surgery and rebuilding it afterwards. Our rehabilitation programs help you recover faster and return to full function.
Surgery is sometimes the right path, but the work you do before and after the procedure has a major impact on how well you recover. Patients who enter surgery stronger and better prepared consistently recover faster and achieve better outcomes.
We work alongside surgeons to provide pre-surgery preparation and post-surgery rehabilitation for a wide range of foot and ankle procedures. Whether you are heading into surgery or recovering from one, our goal is to help you reach your best possible result.
We Accept All Major Health Funds
HICAPS on-the-spot rebates at all clinics. No referral needed.

Pre-Surgery Rehabilitation
The period before surgery is an opportunity to improve your starting position. Activation and strengthening work done in the weeks before a procedure can reduce recovery time and improve your post-surgical outcomes.
Why Pre-Surgery Rehab Matters
Research consistently shows that patients who are stronger and more mobile before surgery recover faster afterwards. Pre-surgery rehabilitation, sometimes called prehabilitation, builds a foundation that your body can draw on during recovery.
Activation and Strengthening
We prescribe targeted exercises to activate and strengthen the muscles around the surgical site. This helps maintain muscle function leading into the procedure and gives you a head start on the rehabilitation that follows.
Education and Planning
We walk you through what to expect before, during and after surgery so there are no surprises. Understanding the recovery timeline, milestones and what you can do at each stage reduces anxiety and helps you stay on track.
Post-Surgery Rehabilitation
After surgery, the goal is to restore function progressively and safely. We work within your surgeon's protocols while pushing your recovery forward at an appropriate pace.

Do You Need Surgery?
Not every condition requires surgery. In many cases, conservative treatment can resolve the problem or manage it effectively without an operation. We can help you understand your options.
Conservative Treatment First
We always explore non-surgical options first, including strengthening programs, orthotics, footwear modifications and load management. Many conditions that seem surgical respond well to a structured conservative approach.
When Surgery Is the Right Option
Surgery may be appropriate when conservative treatment has been given a fair trial and symptoms persist, or when the structural problem is beyond what conservative methods can address. We work with your surgeon to ensure the timing and approach are right.
