Aquian Orthopaedic physio and rehab Dorking, is set in the beautiful Surrey hills between Reigate and Epsom extending further South towards Crawley and West towards Leatherhead. Our team have lived and been active physio, pilates and rehab specialist in the community over the last 15 plus years, we offer specialist rehab treatment and care in the comfort of your own home.

Our core offering covers both pre and post orthopaedic rehab and physio following elective or trauma surgery around major joints such as hips, knees and shoulders. However, as the demand for self pay
has increased due to the lack of available NHS community in the Dorking and Reigate areas, Aquian has steadily grown our services. We now treat equally many elderly patients who are looking to
maximise their movement and to prevent and sustain further challenges with arthritic pain or continue to overcome complex conditions such as Parkinson’s and long Covid.

We also now draw on leading movement, sports science techniques and technology (like a Compex muscle stimulator) into supporting all ages suffering with joint pain, sports injuries and soft tissue therapeutic needs all in the Dorking and surrounding areas.

Pre-operative Dorking

How Aquian Will Support You at home in Dorking

We will answer any questions or concerns you may have and understand your goals and what you want to achieve after your surgery.

We will help you prepare for your surgery focused on your mental and physical wellbeing, working on your motivation and also building your strength and mobility to support your recovery process.

Our highly experienced orthopaedic physios will guide you directly or through our qualified practitioners, refer you to the leading biomechanics, sports science and strengthening and conditioning practices

The importance of prerehabilitation

It’s clinically evidenced that starting your rehab before surgery is critical achieving optimal recovery. Muscles and movement can be severely compromised after years of joint pain. A regime to help increase the range and flexion around joints or increasing strength in other areas of your body will help your recovery. Now you can receive all the support you need to prepare and make sure you have all the comfort you need within your own home in Dorking

The Importance Of Rehabilitation After Surgery Or Trauma

Many patients struggle physically and mentally with how they are going to cope when discharged from hospital. Having received great care in the hands of surgeons and nurses it can be daunting when you return home. Many patients are concerned about how they will cope with day-to-day activities, manage residual pain, how much exercise they should be doing and at what stage.
Getting the right support, advice and treatment from a clinical specialist physio as soon as you get home is critical to ensuring you improve joint mobility, strengthen muscles, reduce swelling and mentally help you pace your recovery to regain the movement you need to live your daily life.

Post-op Dorking

How Aquian Will Support You at home in Dorking

Post-operative appointments are arranged from the day after you get home so there’s no waiting for treatment to start and no loss of momentum in the crucial, early stage of your recovery

Our clinical specialist orthopaedic physiotherapists will assess and guide you on treatment and medication to support your recovery

We’ll work with your surgeon to development a treatment plan unique to you to ensure your optimal recovery. Having worked with many leading surgeons in the area, we recognise approaches to rehabilitation may differ.

I cannot recommend these people too highly, without them I do not think I would be making the recovery I am from one failed operation and then a second one which left me hardly able to move, let alone walk. Now, six months later, with the very skilled help of Steve Perry from Aquain, I am progressing beyond expectations and walking better each day. I am so grateful to Aquain.

Had a knee replacement and needed physiotherapy while recuperating. The fact that Steve could come to my home and work with me was a great bonus and I certainly benefitted from his advice. After several visits I am now driving again and even cycling and am very grateful that I found Aquian to add to my list of really useful people.

Barbara Scott

Patient
From the first appointment Steve took time to listen and reassure my elderly mum and then explained everything clearly so that we could all understand. This has been key; Steve specialises in joint replacement pre and post op so is highly knowledgeable and an expert in his field. His professional and friendly approach has been perfect and instrumental in helping to speed up my mum’s recovery. I really don’t think she would be where she is today without Steve’s help and support. Each session starts with a review and catch up followed by hands on therapy (something you don’t always receive) and a rigorous but easy to manage exercise regime that has inspired my mum to work hard and reap the benefits. All this happening in the comfort of our own home really does make a difference. Steve goes above and beyond even writing a letter with an overview of his sessions for us to give to mum’s surgeon Since we have been working with Steve my mum is so much more positive about her recovery. We are delighted; therapy such as this does not come cheaply but it has been totally worth every penny spent. A huge thank you to Steve and the team at Aquian

Can certainly recommend this team, following my total knee replacement received physio at home from Steve Perry who specializes in knees. Am now well on the way to recovery having been given good advice on self-directed exercises.

Steve has treated me for the last 4 years beginning with a right total knee replacement then total right shoulder replacement followed by a left shoulder replacement. He is currently treating me after a left knee revision and frankly I don’t know what I would do without his expertise. If you need your joints and muscles sorting give him a call, he comes highly recommended.

Having had a really bad 18 months resulting from initial poor surgery and then a second operation Steve Perry has been a lifesaver to me. I am so grateful for the way Steve is guiding me with such skill and kindness through a long and difficult recovery
Nothing is ever too much trouble for Steve and his experience is such that he is never flawed by unexpected challenges. Steve provides the kind of support and reassurance that is essential for anyone left to struggle alone with recovery after major surgery. I consider myself very lucky to have come into his care.
I have been working with Steve for 3 months to rehab a left hip replacement. He has worked with me from week 1, setting clear goals for each phase of recovery. He has managed my recovery expectations well and the hip is making good progress. I look forward to working with Steve until I am back on the 5 aside pitch!

Tim Willis

Patient
My experience of Aquian’s rehab physiotherapy after a full knee replacement has been exceptional. Helen, my physiotherapist with specialist skill and knowledge in post knee surgery, has guided me through the appropriate exercises. At every stage of the recovery process showing understanding of any of my concerns and yet at the same time ensuring excellent progress. I wouldn’t hesitate to use Helen again if I had to have my other knee replaced. Her expertise and sympathetic friendliness could not be bettered. Treatment within my own home at convenient times made the whole process so much easier. Many thanks Helen

Elderly falls and mobility Dorking

The Importance Of Ensuring Elderly Vitality?

The ageing process has a habit of bringing to the forefront all those niggling aches and pains that act as a stark reminder we need to work harder to improve our physical health. As we age, our body goes through a series of natural changes such as reduced muscle strength and bone density, stiffer joints and ligaments. If left unchecked, these changes can affect balance and increase the likelihood of falls and accidents. There are some surprising statistics to suggest that falls in the elderly are common.
Aside from the immediate injury, the effects of falling can linger on and impact on the elderly person not only physically, but psychologically and emotionally. It is quite common to suffer a loss of confidence which results in a desire to remain indoors more and walk less for fear of falling again. Although this seems like a sensible option to reduce the possibility of repeat falls, it has the opposite effect! Exercise is vitally important to build and retain muscle strength which helps prevent future falls. Equally, fresh air is essential for everyone but especially the elderly, as the vital Vitamin D we get from the sun is another key element to maintaining healthy bones and muscles.

How Aquian Will Support You at home in Dorking
