Further rehabiliation at the clinic

A typical schedule for hip or knee replacement surgery would be to arrive on a Monday and depart the following Monday. Our rehabilitation specialist, guided by your surgeon, will help you during the days after surgery. There is also the opportunity to stay an extra one, two or three weeks at the Clinic, for further rehabilitation, if required.
