We guide post-surgical rehabilitation at our Roxboro clinic in the West Island, working to your surgeon’s protocol from your first cleared visit through return to full activity. Book directly to get your recovery on track.
What we manage
Surgery is the start of recovery, not the end of it. Here’s where we pick up:
- ACL reconstruction
- Rotator cuff repair
- Meniscus repair or partial meniscectomy
- Total hip and knee replacement
- Shoulder labral repair
- Ankle ligament reconstruction
- Spine surgery (decompression, fusion) once cleared
How it works
Recovery after surgery follows a timeline your surgeon sets: when you can bear weight, when you can move through certain ranges, when you can start loading. Our job is to deliver the right rehab at each stage and keep your progress on track without crossing protocol lines.
Most pathways move through three broad phases:
- Protection and motion: managing swelling, restoring early range, light activation.
- Strength and control: progressive loading, technique work, balance.
- Return to activity: functional progression, sport-specific drills if relevant, criteria-based clearance.
For active patients (returning to running, sport, demanding work), the kinesiologist often takes over the late-stage conditioning phase in coordination with your physiotherapist.
Insurance
Most private insurance plans cover post-surgical rehabilitation; check your specific coverage before booking.
