For most keyhole patients,
day 42 is the day life
feels normal again.

From the first scan to the last physio session, every decision is measured against a single question: will this get you back to the life you had, or better? Surgery is only one tool. Rehab, load and patience matter just as much.

We track your recovery the way you track a run: steadily, honestly, until the numbers say you are done.
