Surgery is just the first step—real recovery begins with the right rehabilitation.
Whether you’ve had a hip labral repair or a shoulder labral repair, structured rehab is essential to restore joint stability, mobility, and long-term function. At Isleworth Pain and Injury Clinic, we specialise in orthopaedic rehabilitation that’s tailored, progressive, and designed to get you moving better, without setbacks.
What Is a Labral Tear?
The labrum is a ring of cartilage that helps stabilise your ball-and-socket joints—in the shoulder (glenoid labrum) and in the hip (acetabular labrum). It deepens the socket, cushions the joint, and allows for smooth motion.
A labral tear can result from trauma (like sports injuries or falls), repetitive movements, or degenerative wear and tear. Post-surgical repair helps reattach or reshape this cartilage, but recovery requires guided, phase-specific rehab to restore normal function and prevent re-injury.
Our Rehabilitation Approach
At Isleworth Pain and Injury Clinic, we follow a structured, multi-phase rehabilitation plan that adapts to your stage of healing and personal goals.
1. Protection & Early Mobility (Weeks 1–4)
- Focus on pain management, reducing swelling, and protecting the repaired labrum.
- Passive and gentle assisted range of motion (as allowed by your surgeon)
- Education on movement precautions and safe daily activities
2. Controlled Strengthening (Weeks 4–8)
- Gradual introduction of an active range of motion exercise
- Isometric strengthening to support surrounding muscles (rotator cuff or hip stabilisers)
- Gentle joint mobilisation to prevent stiffness
3. Advanced Rehab (Weeks 8–12)
- Progressive resistance training to build strength and endurance
- Proprioceptive and balance exercises
- Functional movement retraining based on your lifestyle or sport
4. Return to Function (After 12 Weeks)
- Dynamic strengthening and sport-specific drills
- Plyometric and agility work, if required
- Full return-to-activity readiness testing
How We Help
Our chiropractor supports your recovery by improving joint alignment and biomechanics, especially in the spine, shoulder girdle, or pelvic region. This reduces compensatory strain and helps you move more efficiently through rehab.
With physiotherapy, we create a goal-oriented rehab programme that restores joint mobility, muscle control, and confidence. Each plan is built around your surgery, activity level, and recovery milestones.
Together, our integrated care helps:
- Reduce post-operative pain and swelling
- Prevent stiffness and scar tissue buildup
- Restore joint range and muscle balance
- Improve stability to avoid future tears
