Patient Resources
Preparing for an operation, finding your feet in the weeks after one, or settling a knee or hip that has nagged for months. The right guidance at the right moment makes each of those easier to face. Our patient resources bring together the guides our own clinicians reach for with patients, in one place, so you are not searching the site for the checklist, the recovery advice or the form you need.
Book a Consultation
Everything here is written or chosen by the team who treat you, and it sits alongside the advice you get in the clinic rather than in place of it. Use it to get ready for an appointment, to know what a normal recovery looks like, or simply to understand what is happening inside a sore joint.

Start with the section that matches where you are right now:
Getting Ready for Surgery
The weeks before an operation are the ones you have most control over. Our pre-op checklists walk you through what to organise, what to bring and what to expect, and building strength beforehand through prehabilitation before surgery often shortens the climb back afterwards.
Recovering Well Afterwards
A good result is made as much in recovery as in theatre. Our post-op guides set out what is normal week by week for your operation, and guided post-operative rehabilitation rebuilds movement, strength and trust in the joint at the right pace.
Living With Knee or Hip Pain
Not every sore joint needs surgery, and plenty settle with the right load and time. Our knee and hip resources explain what tends to drive pain and what actually helps, and if you want to know where your joint stands, a functional and movement assessment gives you an objective read rather than guesswork.
Forms and Downloads
Save yourself time before your first visit. Our new client forms can be completed ahead of your appointment, and the patient downloads library holds equipment guides and quick-start instructions you may be given in the clinic.
Why MTP Health
MTP Health keeps physiotherapy, exercise physiology and orthopaedic surgery under one roof in Sydney, so the guidance here is the same advice our team gives in person, not generic information pulled from elsewhere. Whatever stage you are at, you can bring any question from these pages to a consultation.
