Physiotherapy
The aim of physiotherapy during your stay in Cappagh National Orthopaedic Hospital is to assess and treat your muscle and joint problems before your operation.

After your surgery we will help you to undergo a full rehabilitation program in order to maximise your recovery and restore your independence.
