A clear roadmap from surgery to strength

Recovering from surgery can feel daunting, but you are not on your own. We demystify the healing timeline, gradually introducing progressive overload so you build lasting confidence and physical resilience.

Early recovery and progressive gym training

Recovery begins well before stepping back on the field or returning to manual work. When possible, we provide pre-operative conditioning ('pre-hab') to enhance surgical outcomes. Following surgery, early manual therapy and swelling management progress into our functional gym. Here, we rebuild mobility, strength, and endurance with regular sessions that taper into monthly milestones as your independence grows.

No referral needed and seamless ACC support

You do not need a surgeon's referral to begin your rehabilitation with Reignite Physio. With experience in fracture clinics and strong ties to Dunedin's orthopedic community, we work under the ICP contract for complex shoulder, back, and knee conditions. Simply book online and bring along any surgical notes or scan reports so we can commence your tailored recovery plan immediately.
