About this service
The first six weeks after orthopaedic surgery are when you set the trajectory for the next year. The patients who recover best are usually the ones who get hands-on physiotherapy at home, early, and don’t have to wait six weeks for their NHS follow-up.
Jay covers post-operative rehab from Leicester Royal Infirmary, Nuffield Health Leicester, Spire Leicester, Glenfield orthopaedics and BMI hospitals, plus trauma and fracture care from any UK hospital.
