Personalised, structured rehabilitation designed to restore strength, mobility, and confidence after abdominal surgery.
Recovering from abdominal surgery can feel physically and emotionally draining.
You may feel weak through your core, cautious about moving, or unsure what is safe. Simple tasks — getting out of bed, standing upright, walking for longer periods — can feel harder than expected.
Whether you have had open abdominal surgery (laparotomy), laparoscopic/keyhole surgery, bowel surgery, gynaecological surgery, hernia repair, or stoma formation, your recovery needs careful, expert progression.
This 6-week programme provides clear, guided physiotherapy — tailored specifically to your surgery, stage of healing, and personal goals.
Your physiotherapist has extensive NHS experience in post-operative rehabilitation and understands both the surgical precautions and the deconditioning that can occur after hospital admission.
Is This Programme Right For You?
You may benefit if you:
- Have recently had abdominal or pelvic surgery
- Feel weak through your core or generally deconditioned
Are unsure how to safely rebuild strength - Struggle with posture, standing upright, or walking endurance
- Feel breathless or fatigued following surgery
- Want structured weekly progression
Want expert guidance to avoid complications or setbacks
Recovery is not just about wound healing — it is about rebuilding whole-body strength and confidence.

Every programme is bespoke, but typically includes:
- A detailed post-operative assessment in your home
