Rebuild Strength, Control, and Confidence After Surgery

Recovering from surgery can be challenging — whether it’s a knee reconstruction, spinal procedure or shoulder repair. At Sport & Spine Physiotherapy Adamstown, our experienced physiotherapists use Clinical Pilates to help clients rebuild safely, restore function and return to the activities they love.

Clinical Pilates focuses on controlled movement, posture and muscle activation, helping your body regain balance and stability after the trauma of surgery. It’s not the same as a general gym or mat class — every program is tailored by our physiotherapists to match your recovery stage and surgical precautions.

Why Choose Clinical Pilates After Surgery

After surgery, your body needs gentle, guided strengthening to recover safely.

Clinical Pilates can help you:

• Rebuild core and stabilising muscles to protect joints and surgical sites.

• Improve movement control and posture, reducing the risk of compensations and re-injury.

• Enhance flexibility and balance, helping you return to normal daily activities faster.

• Reduce pain and stiffness through smooth, low-impact movements.

• Speed up recovery by restoring muscle coordination and joint mobility.

Every exercise is supervised by your Adamstown physiotherapist, ensuring movements are safe, effective and aligned with your surgeon’s protocol.

Personalised Programs Designed for You

At Sport & Spine Physiotherapy, we don’t take a one-size-fits-all approach.

Your program begins with a comprehensive assessment where your physiotherapist evaluates your movement, muscle control and healing progress. From there, we design a custom Clinical Pilates program using reformer and mat-based equipment to meet your specific needs.

Common post-surgical clients include those recovering from:

• Knee arthroscopy or ACL reconstruction

• Hip or shoulder surgery

• Spinal surgery or disc repair

• Joint replacements

• Sports-related surgical procedures

Each stage of recovery is carefully monitored and progressed as your strength and confidence return.

We work closely with referring surgeons and GPs across Newcastle and the Hunter Region to ensure your program supports your medical recovery plan.

The Benefits of Working with Physiotherapists

Unlike generic Pilates classes, Clinical Pilates with a physiotherapist ensures:

• Exercises are designed for your condition and surgical timeline.

• Movements are adjusted as your recovery progresses.

• Sessions are led by qualified clinicians with in-depth knowledge of anatomy, pain management and post-operative care.

This approach combines the precision of physiotherapy with the functional benefits of Pilates — helping you move better, not just feel better.
