Reclaiming Movement: Physio After Rotator Cuff Surgery

Undergoing rotator cuff surgery is a major step toward relieving pain and restoring shoulder function — but the real recovery happens through physiotherapy. At Home Physio Group, we bring expert, tailored rehabilitation directly to your doorstep, helping you rebuild strength, mobility, and confidence safely from the comfort of your own home.

Why Physiotherapy After Rotator Cuff Surgery Is Essential

The rotator cuff, a group of muscles and tendons that stabilise your shoulder, plays a vital role in almost every arm movement. Following surgery, it is common to experience stiffness, weakness, and limited range of motion. Without structured rehabilitation, full recovery can be difficult.

With Home Physio Group, your physiotherapist will:

  • Restore movement through gentle, guided exercises
  • Rebuild strength in the shoulder and supporting muscles
  • Reduce pain and stiffness using evidence-based manual therapy techniques
  • Support safe healing with a personalised, progressive treatment plan

Why Choose Home Physio Group

After surgery, travelling to a clinic can be uncomfortable and inconvenient. Home Physio Group brings the clinic to you, providing professional care in your own home or care home, where recovery feels easier and more relaxed.

With Home Physio Group, you will benefit from:

  • Convenience and comfort: No travel, no waiting rooms, expert care in your familiar surroundings
  • Personalised treatment plans: Every session is designed for your unique goals and stage of recovery
  • Dedicated, one-to-one attention: Our physiotherapists focus solely on you during every visit
  • Faster, more confident recovery: With consistent support and expert guidance, you will move forward safely and steadily

Your Recovery Journey After Rotator Cuff Surgery

At Home Physio Group, we guide you through each stage of recovery with a structured, compassionate approach.

1. Protection and Early Mobility (Weeks 0–6)
You will start with gentle passive exercises to prevent stiffness and maintain mobility, always within your surgeon’s guidelines.

2. Regaining Movement (Weeks 6–12)
Your physiotherapist will introduce active exercises to strengthen muscles and gradually restore your shoulder’s range of motion.

3. Strength and Function (3–6 Months)
As healing progresses, we will focus on advanced strengthening and stability training to help you return to daily activities, sports, or work safely. Each program is customised to your pace, ensuring comfort and long-term success.
