Payal Devgan, MCSP
Senior Chartered Physiotherapist (HCPC: PH108630)
Rehalign provides specialist post-surgical and orthopaedic rehabilitation at home across Birmingham and the West Midlands. Our HCPC-registered physiotherapists begin home visits within days of hospital discharge, delivering progressive joint mobilisation, swelling management, scar tissue therapy, and stair training — eliminating the pain and physical toll of travelling to outpatient clinics.
Clinical Overview & Treatment Methodology
Immediate, structured mobilization is imperative for optimal post-operative outcomes. Our dedicated home-visit protocols remove the physical toll and logistical burden of traveling post-surgery. We meticulously manage oedema, safely restore articular range of motion, and prevent muscular atrophy, ensuring a seamless and accelerated transition back to your active life.
We work in direct coordination with your orthopaedic surgeon’s discharge instructions and weight-bearing protocols, ensuring your joint replacement, spinal surgery, or fracture repair heals safely without complications.
