Rehabilitation after surgery
What this is
After an operation, the aftercare decides the outcome at least as much as the procedure itself. We accompany you on that path from the first appointment after discharge to the point where you can fully load your leg or your shoulder again.
What it helps with
How it works

Early phase

Questions about this service
Frequently asked
What should I bring to the first appointment after surgery?
The operation report and the aftercare protocol, and the images if you have them. That lets us work within the right limits straight away instead of holding back to be safe.
I've already done prescribed rehab. Is there any point coming here?
Very often, yes. Prescribed rehab usually ends where everyday function is restored. The stretch to full athletic capacity, equal strength on both sides, jumping power, changes of direction, is rarely completed. That is exactly the part many people who come to us are missing.
How often do I need to come?
More often in the early phase, less often later, with more of the work done on your own. We set that together after the first appointment and adjust it as you progress.

What patients often look for here as well
Return to Sport and Return to Performance
The stretch between "it doesn't hurt any more" and "it holds up in competition". It is the part most often skipped, and the reason many injuries come back. We close it with measurable criteria, not a gut feeling.
→ServiceReturn-to-sport testing
With test batteries we developed ourselves, we check strength, jump performance, landing control, changes of direction and differences between sides under real load. That shows objectively how much load your body can already take.
→ClinicKnee clinic in Hamburg
The knee is a sensitive joint that is rarely the sole culprit. Very often the cause lies in the hip, in the foot, or in muscle control that never fully returned after an old injury. So we do not examine only the knee.
→ClinicShoulder clinic in Hamburg
The shoulder is the most mobile joint in the body and is guided almost entirely by muscle. That makes it capable and sensitive at the same time. Anyone who works overhead or plays overhead sport notices first.
→ServiceMedical training
Training based on findings. You do not train to a standard plan but to what the examination showed, and always supervised by someone who knows why this exercise is the right one right now.
→ServiceBFR and compression
BFR stands for blood flow restriction: training with very light loads while venous return is restricted in a controlled way.
