Post-Surgical Care, Done Right
Recover Stronger, Smarter, and Safer with the Right Team by Your Side
At Mend Bodyworks, we know that post-operative recovery isn’t just about healing — it’s about reaching your goals, getting back to what you love, rebuilding strength, restoring movement, and regaining confidence in your body. Whether you've had joint replacement, ligament repair, spinal surgery, or a more minor procedure, our integrated team of physiotherapists, kinesiologists, and massage therapists is here to support your return to function, work, sport, and everyday life.
Physiotherapy: Your First Step Toward Full Recovery
Our physiotherapists guide you through each stage of post-op healing with care, clinical insight, and evidence-based treatment plans. We tailor your rehab based on your specific surgery, personal goals, and surgeon’s protocol — all while working to reduce pain, swelling, and scar tissue.
Physiotherapy helps with:
Personalized, safe, and effective exercise programs: the right exercises at the right time
Instructions for what you can safely do in your day-to-day life, and when to start
Improving range of motion
Strengthening muscles weakened by surgery or immobilization
Rebuilding balance and coordination
Relearning movement patterns
Preventing complications like stiffness or poor posture
Helping to adjust or transition from using assistive devices when appropriate, such as crutches or a walker
Helping to manage your pain without medications as possible, and coordinating with your doctors for pain medication as necessary
Supporting scar tissue healing and reducing adhesions
Tracking your recovery and modifying treatment as you progress
Transitioning to real-life movement
Addressing muscle imbalances and movement dysfunctions
Supporting return to work, recreation, or sport
Building long-term strategies for joint protection and injury prevention
We collaborate directly with your surgeon when needed and follow best-practice timelines to ensure every step is safe and effective.
Kinesiology: Exercise That Moves You Forward
Once you've built a solid foundation with physiotherapy, our kinesiologist can enhance your recovery with targeted, progressive exercise programs designed to improve your strength, stamina, and function.
Kinesiology is especially valuable for:
Transitioning from basic mobility to real-life movement
Gaining confidence in your body again
Addressing muscle imbalances and movement dysfunctions
Supporting return to work, recreation, or sport
Building long-term strategies for joint protection and injury prevention
Our kinesiology team makes exercise approachable, engaging — and yes, even fun. You’ll work out in our spacious, naturally lit rehab gym, with guidance tailored to your goals.
Massage Therapy: Complementary Care That Enhances Healing
Registered Massage Therapy (RMT) is an excellent complement to physio and kinesiology, especially during the early or mid-stages of recovery.
Massage therapy can help by:
Relieving post-op muscle tension and compensation patterns
Improving circulation and lymphatic drainage
Supporting scar tissue healing and reducing adhesions
Managing stress and promoting relaxation
Easing pain without medication
Your massage therapist works alongside your physio and kinesiologist to ensure hands-on care fits seamlessly into your rehab plan.
