Recovering after an operation can take time, and the right rehabilitation support can make a valuable difference to a person's progress.

A personalised physiotherapy programme can help patients gradually rebuild their physical abilities and confidence. Post surgery rehabilitation focuses on helping individuals regain movement and return to their usual activities safely.

Shockwave Therapy for Plantar Fasciitis: Supporting Heel Pain Recovery

  Heel pain can make walking, exercising and carrying out everyday activities uncomfortable. One common cause is plantar fasciitis, which can lead to pain around the heel and underside of the foot, particularly when taking the first steps after resting.
