Hip and knee replacements can be life-changing procedures, restoring mobility and reducing chronic pain. However, successful recovery depends heavily on physiotherapy.

Kerry Read Physiotherapy covers West Berkshire including Lambourn, Hungerford and Berkshire. Physiotherapy helps people regain strength, flexibility and confidence after surgery. We design personalised rehab programs to ensure the best possible outcomes for every patient.

Why Physiotherapy is Essential After Joint Replacement

Post-surgery physiotherapy is crucial for:

Regaining Mobility
Gentle exercises improve joint range of motion, helping you walk, climb stairs, and perform daily activities with ease.
Strengthening Muscles Around the Joint
Strengthening the surrounding muscles protects your new joint, reduces pain, and supports long-term mobility.
Reducing Risk of Complications
Physiotherapy helps prevent stiffness, swelling, and other post-operative complications.
Restoring Confidence
Guided exercises and gradual progress build confidence in your new hip or knee, allowing you to return to normal life safely.
