Personalised, structured rehabilitation designed to restore strength, mobility, and confidence after ankle surgery.
Recovering from ankle surgery can feel slow and frustrating.
After weeks in a cast, boot, or reduced weight-bearing, it’s common to feel stiff, weak and unsteady. Swelling may persist, and walking may not feel natural or confident.
You may be unsure how much weight to put through the ankle, when to progress exercises, or whether your recovery is on track.
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 ankle and lower limb rehabilitation, understanding the balance between protecting healing tissue and restoring full function.
