Complex Orthopaedic Trauma and Amputee Rehabilitation
Rebuilding Strength. Restoring Function. Regaining Independence.
Serious orthopaedic injury or limb loss can be life-changing.
Multiple fractures, polytrauma, joint reconstruction or amputation affect not only movement but also confidence, identity, education, employment and independence.
At Smart Rehabilitation, we provide specialist physiotherapy for adults and children recovering from complex orthopaedic trauma and limb loss across Yorkshire. Our rehabilitation is structured, measurable and focused on meaningful real-world recovery.

You or the person you support may be experiencing:
-
Ongoing pain limiting mobility
-
Weakness and deconditioning following surgery or trauma
-
Reduced confidence with walking or stairs
-
Difficulty returning to work, education or community activities
-
Functional limitations following limb loss
-
Recovery requires progressive loading, clear clinical reasoning and coordinated care.
