🔩 New Knee? New Hip? New Shoulder? New Ankle?

The operation may be over, but the real work is only just beginning.

Joint replacement surgery can be life-changing, but recovery isn’t a quick fix. The best outcomes rarely come from surgery alone. They come from commitment, consistency, and following the right rehabilitation plan at the right time.

Whether you’ve had a:

✅ Knee Replacement
✅ Hip Replacement
✅ Shoulder Replacement
✅ Ankle Replacement
✅ Revision Joint Surgery

Our team can help guide your recovery every step of the way.

At East Devon Physical Therapy, we combine expert clinical assessment with technology including AlterG Anti-Gravity Treadmill rehabilitation, strength testing, diagnostic ultrasound, laser therapy, shockwave therapy and structured exercise programmes to help you regain confidence, mobility and independence.

The goal isn’t just to walk again.

It’s to get back to the things that matter most:

🚶 Walking the dog
⛳ Playing golf
🌿 Gardening
👨‍👩‍👧‍👦 Keeping up with grandchildren
🏖️ Enjoying life without being held back by pain

Recovery isn’t always easy.

It takes discipline.
It takes hard work.
It takes patience.

But with the right support, the results can be remarkable.

Thinking about a knee or hip replacement… or already recovering from one? 👣

One thing we always remind people is this 👇

The operation itself is only one part of the process.

A joint replacement won’t be fully recovered after a couple of treatment sessions — rebuilding strength, movement, balance, confidence and normal function takes time and guidance along the way.

That’s where our team comes in 💪

At East Devon Physical Therapy, we help support people through every stage of rehabilitation, from those difficult early weeks after surgery right through to returning to daily life, hobbies, exercise and walking comfortably again.

Whether your goal is:
🚶 Walking without pain
🏌️ Getting back to golf
🐶 Walking the dog comfortably
🏃 Returning to exercise
🪜 Managing stairs with confidence again

—we’re here to help guide the process.

🎉 10 YEARS OF SCOTT 🎉

A whole decade of Scott surviving the clinic… which honestly deserves some kind of medical study in itself. 😂

10 years of:
💪 Fixing broken humans
🧠 Pretending to listen to my ideas
📋 Endless notes & rehab plans…. 🤔
☕ Dangerous amounts of caffeine
🙄 Putting up with me on a daily basis

Patients know him as an incredible therapist who genuinely cares and gets results 👏
I know him as the bloke who’s somehow become one of my closest mates despite the constant abuse we give each other 😂

Honestly couldn’t have built this place without him.
Even if he is getting slightly more miserable with age. 🤝

Cheers for 10 years mate 🍻
Now back to work… those treatment notes won’t write themselves. 📋😂

⚠️ Don’t swipe if you don’t like surgical scars…

A couple of complex ankle cases in clinic today 👣

🦾 Total ankle replacement – restoring movement after years of painful arthritis.

🦴 Trimalleolar fracture – a significant ankle injury involving three parts of the joint and surgical fixation.

Cases like this are always fascinating from a rehab perspective…
probably a bit less exciting for the patients themselves 😅

What we love is the trust people place in us to guide their recovery after major surgery or injury. These rehab journeys aren’t quick fixes — they require a structured, progressive approach and a lot of teamwork between patient and clinician.

Today’s rehab approach included:
🔴 PBM laser therapy to support tissue healing
🏃 Alter-G anti-gravity treadmill to reintroduce walking and load safely
💪 Progressive strength training
🔄 Targeted mobility work to restore ankle range and control

The aim is always the same:
restore confidence, rebuild strength, and get people back to doing what they enjoy.

If you’re recovering from an ankle injury or surgery and unsure how to progress safely, feel free to get in touch and we can build a clear, evidence-based rehab plan for you.

🏃‍♂️💙 We don’t just want people running for performance… we want people running for LIFE.

Running is linked with: 👇
✅ 27% lower risk of all-cause mortality
❤️ 30% lower risk of cardiovascular mortality
🎗️ 23% lower risk of cancer mortality

And the benefits don’t stop there… 👇
🫁 Improved cardio-respiratory fitness
🦴 Better bone health
🧠 Improved cognitive function
😊 Positive effects on mental health

The best part? You don’t need to run every day or be “elite” to benefit 💥
Even running as little as ONCE per week can positively impact your health 🙌

This is why we work so hard to help people stay active, stay moving, and stay running 🏃‍♀️✨

Whether you’re keen to START running, build confidence returning after time away, or trying to come back from injury — we can help guide you with an evidence-based plan tailored specifically to you 📈💪

It’s not about perfection.
It’s about progress ❤️

Massage Guns After the London Marathon… Do They Actually Help?

If you watched the London Marathon this weekend, you’ll have seen massage guns everywhere — at the finish line, in recovery areas, all over social media.

They’ve become the go-to “recovery tool”.

But here’s the reality:

They don’t actually speed up recovery.

What they do:

✔️ Reduce the feeling briefly of soreness
✔️ Improve movement short-term

What they don’t do:

❌ Repair muscle damage
❌ Restore strength
❌ Get you back to performance quicker

The key issue is this:

Feeling better isn’t the same as being recovered.

Real recovery after something like a marathon — or even a tough gym session — comes from:

Gradual return to movement
Strength work
Sleep
Nutrition

Not just passive tools.

Massage guns aren’t harmful (unless over used) — and if you enjoy using one, that’s fine.

But they’re a comfort tool, not a recovery strategy.

📩 If you want help recovering properly (whether you run, train, or just deal with everyday aches and pains), get in touch with the team.

Marathon day is here. 🏃‍♀️

To everyone we’ve been working with — we’ve seen the effort that doesn’t make social media.

The rehab, the consistency, the discipline.

Trust the work. Enjoy the day.

Good luck — you’ve earned this. 👊

🦵🦴 Had a knee or hip replacement recently (or even months ago)?

A lot of people do a few basic exercises after surgery… then stop once things feel easier 👍

But here’s the key 👇

✅ Feeling better isn’t the same as being fully recovered.

You can be walking more, hurting less… and still have:

strength deficits 💪
side-to-side imbalance ⚖️
compensation patterns 🔁
reduced power/control ⚡

At East Devon Physical Therapy, knee and hip replacements are part of our day-to-day work 👊 and we use objective testing to show what’s really going on 📊 including:

isometric strength testing 💪
velocity-based testing ⚡
force plate pressure mapping 👣
movement + functional testing 🔍

If you want clarity (and a plan) 🧠✅

📅 Book a post-op assessment or 💬 message us “REPLACEMENT”

“Wall balls… simple? Not quite 👀”

This is where HYROX races are won or lost.

💥 Full-body fatigue
💥 Coordination under pressure
💥 100 reps when your legs are already gone

We’ve been using velocity-based training (VBT) for a while now, rehab based and performance.
But now there’s a new layer 👇

👉 Our sensors now integrate directly with HYROX training

Meaning we can take what we already do — and make it even more specific to the demands of race day.

📊 Velocity
📊 Power output
📊 Fatigue drop-off

Because how fast you move = how well you’re performing.

If speed drops, efficiency drops.
And in HYROX… that’s where time disappears ⏱️

⚡ Real-time feedback
⚡ Smarter loading
⚡ Better pacing under fatigue

This isn’t just training harder… it’s training accurately.

💬 Already using VBT? This is the next step.
