The gold standard in orthopaedic care
Our whole person methods promise a level of personalised care that makes you feel positive about your recovery – no stress, no drama
Stay right there. We treat you where you are
We want to make your life easier and better. Forget the discomfort of travelling to appointments when you least feel up to it. Seeing you at home or at work means your treatment and rehabilitation can be carefully monitored to give you the ultimate peace of mind.
Skilled physios who care
Our experienced physio team have worked with hundreds of orthopaedic surgeons and consultants and treated thousands of patients. They continually draw on the latest approaches and techniques to create treatment plans tailored to you.
Feel better, for longer
Everyone is different, so it’s with you in mind that our team work seamlessly together to provide continuity of care to give you the best treatments, guidance and support to help you achieve your goal and sustain maximum movement.
We offer guidance, physio and rehabilitation for:
Knee surgery
After a knee operation, rehabilitation is essential to promote recovery and ensure you achieve full movement.
We’ll work with you to maximise the range of motion for flexion and extension, quadricep and hamstring strength, whilst improving the quality of your mobility. We also address previous compensations and habits.
Typical surgeries include:
- Total knee replacements
- Partial knee replacements
- Arthroscopy
- Osteotomy
- Tibial, ligament and meniscal repair
Hip surgery
Early mobilisation is essential after hip surgery to help speed recovery. Our aim is to ensure you are back to regular daily activities, without discomfort, in the shortest time.
We will tailor your treatment to maximise joint range of motion for flexion, extension, abduction and rotation. We also improve posture, mobility and strengthen your hip joint.
Typical surgeries include:
- Total hip replacements
- Resurfacing
- Arthroscopy
Shoulder surgery
The shoulder is one of the most complex joints in the body and surgeons often have strict protocols for sling use, exercises and progression.
We work closely with you and your surgeon ensuring you are doing the right exercises at the right stage. This will help to maximise your recovery, minimise compensatory movements and return you to full function.
Typical surgeries include:
- Total shoulder replacements
- Rotator cuff repairs
- AC joint, subacromial, SLAP, Bankart and labral repairs
Other joints
We are also fully equipped to help you with other orthopaedic needs, including:
- Ankles — fractures and ligaments
- Elbows — fractures and ligaments
- Spinal — decompression, disectomy, laminectomy and fusions
- Trauma — fractures
- Bunion surgery
Every condition is different, so we treat you as an individual

How we work with you
Our whole person methods, developed over years of experience, promise a level of personalised care that makes you feel positive about your recovery — no stress and you don’t feel like you’re just another name on a long list of patients.
Assessment
On our first visit we’ll get an understanding of what you’ve been through, what you want to achieve and discuss what treatments might involve. We’ll answer any questions or concerns you have.
For those awaiting surgery, treatments will include any pre-operative sessions and most importantly a plan for the care you might need when you are discharged from hospital.
Complete treatment plan
During all our visits, we’ll review your progress including pain and swelling management strategies, measure joint and muscle function, and observe gait and functional tasks.
We’ll support you to perform to the level of function that will ultimately give you the mobility needed for daily life.
Together, we’ll set achievable goals to progress your recovery at a pace that ensures you steadily improve.
Regardless of your condition, your safety and comfort are paramount, so you’ll have access to all the support we can offer.
Feel better, for longer
Rehabilitation doesn’t necessarily end once your short-term objectives have been met, such as improving range of movement or muscle activation.
To help you maintain maximum movement and deliver longer term benefits it’s important to continue rehabilitation such as taking regular exercise, stretching and strengthening activity.
Aquian offers a range of services to support you on this journey to help you feel better, for longer. We’ll always be just one phone call away.
