Recover Fully with Kinesiologist-Led Rehabilitation
If you are looking for post-surgical rehab in Langley, you have found the right place. Surgery addressed the structural problem. Now comes the work of getting your body back.

Working alongside your surgical team from day one.
Post-Surgical Rehab in Langley for People Who Want More Than a Generic Exercise Sheet
Surgery is done. You may have finished physio. But you are not back to where you want to be yet.
Clinical physio gets you through the early, clinical stage of recovery. Our job is the next stage: rebuilding strength, confidence, and capacity so you can get back to the life and activities you actually care about. Maybe you're back on your feet after a knee replacement but still not confident on stairs. Maybe you had an ACL repair and want to return to your sport. Maybe your surgeon cleared you and handed you a printout with four exercises on it. We build the rest of the plan.
Our registered kinesiologists design progressive, one-on-one programs built around your specific surgery, your surgeon's protocols, and the life you want to return to. Whether that's hiking in the Fraser Valley, playing with your grandkids, or getting back on the ice.
- Registered Kinesiologists (BCAK) with post-surgical rehab experience in ACL, joint replacement, spinal, shoulder, and ankle procedures

- Progressive exercise-based rehab aligned with your healing timeline, not a fixed calendar
- Direct coordination with your surgeon, physiotherapist, and any other specialists involved
- Many extended health plans cover kinesiology services. ICBC active rehab and WorkSafeBC typically fund rehab for eligible claims
Who Post-Surgical Rehab Is For
You don't need to be an athlete to benefit. If any of these sound like you, this program was built with you in mind.
You finished physio but still don't feel right
Clinical physio gets you stable. It doesn't always get you back. Many clients come to us after discharge because they still can't do what they want to do. We build the progressive program that takes you the rest of the way.
You want to go beyond your surgeon's exercise handout
A generic printout is a starting point. A kinesiologist builds a program specific to your surgery, your body, and the activities you want to return to. There is a meaningful difference.
You're nervous about pushing too hard on your own
After surgery, fear of re-injury is real. Having a qualified professional guiding every session means you can push with confidence, knowing your program is calibrated to what your body is actually ready for.
You have a complex surgery or complicating factors
Previous injuries, multiple procedures, age-related factors, or underlying conditions. Our kinesiologists work with complex presentations and coordinate closely with your medical team.
You have an ambitious recovery goal
Returning to a sport, a physically demanding job, hiking, or any other specific activity. We reverse-engineer your program from the goal and build toward it systematically.
You want your surgeon's and physio's work protected
The wrong exercise at the wrong time can undo a technically successful surgery. Kinesiologist-led programming ensures your recovery honours the work your surgical team already did.

What Your First Month Looks Like
No rushing. No guessing. Here is how we move you from surgical discharge to real, progressive recovery.
Week 1: Assessment and Getting to Know You
We start with a full movement screen, review your surgical notes and surgeon's protocols, and talk through your goals. We need to understand exactly where your body is before we write a single exercise. This is not a formality. It is the foundation everything else is built on.
Weeks 1–2: Protection and Early Mobility
Early exercises focus on managing any residual swelling, protecting the surgical repair, and gently restoring range of motion. We follow your surgeon's specific guidelines throughout. Nothing happens that hasn't been cleared.
Weeks 3–4: Activation and Building Confidence
As your body responds, we begin activating the muscles around the surgical site, addressing joint stiffness, and introducing supported movement. Most clients start feeling like themselves again during this phase. The fear of movement begins to lift.
Ongoing: Progressive Strengthening and Return to Activity
Your program advances week by week, based on how your body is responding. Load increases systematically. Functional training begins. We build toward the specific activity you want to return to, with objective markers at each phase so you know exactly where you stand.

What Our Clients Say
Real results from real people who showed up after surgery and did the work.
“I came to Katy 6 months post spinal surgery after completing a post-surgery physio program where I was told I was done and at my new normal. From day one Katy made me feel as though she had a personal attachment to my goals. I am literally back climbing mountains and feeling great doing so. She has taken me well beyond my recovery goals.”
I was a bit nervous to get started because I have scoliosis and have had spinal fusion but Cole quickly put me at ease. He is knowledgeable, professional and very personable. I would recommend Cole to anyone looking for a top notch kinesiologist.
Sheldon helped me so much with my rehabilitation after my knee fracture and getting me back into playing soccer without any residual pains. I can play like I used to. He does a complete assessment and finds things to work on that I didn't even know I needed.
Nicole’s focus on recovery and building strength post-surgery from a broken ankle has made a real difference. Kinesiology care helped me regain mobility through customized exercises and movement support.
I went to Kenaz for regaining mobility after suffering from a shoulder fracture. My trainer Jon helped me through the whole process. He stayed patient with me and explained the purpose behind each exercise he taught me.
Marc has gotten me back to my pre-cancer self, in fact better than I was before. I’m active with my kids, working in my shop, racing BMX and living my life. I couldn’t have done it without these guys.
Jon helped me lose over 100 pounds and get my strength back after years of chronic pain following surgery. He gave me more confidence and genuinely changed the quality of my life.
Frequently Asked Questions About Post-Surgical Rehab
The questions we hear most before people get started.
It depends on your surgery and your surgeon's protocol. Some procedures allow gentle movement within days. Others require a period of immobilization first. Book a free consultation here in Langley and bring your surgeon's post-operative instructions. We will coordinate with your surgical team to start at the right time.
We provide post-surgical rehab in Langley for ACL reconstruction, hip and knee replacement, rotator cuff and shoulder repair, spinal surgery, ankle and foot procedures, meniscus repair, tendon repairs, fracture rehabilitation, and other orthopaedic procedures. If your surgery is not listed, contact us and we will tell you whether we are the right fit.
It depends on the procedure, your health, your goals, and how your body responds. ACL reconstruction typically takes six to nine months for full rehabilitation. Joint replacements often see major improvements in three to six months. Shoulder repairs generally take four to six months. Your kinesiologist at our Langley facility will give you a personalized timeline after your assessment.
Many extended health plans cover kinesiology services. ICBC typically covers active rehab after eligible motor vehicle accidents in BC. WorkSafeBC typically covers kinesiology for approved workplace injuries. Coverage depends on your specific claim and plan. We recommend calling your insurer to confirm, and we can help you navigate that conversation at your consult.
Physiotherapy focuses on acute assessment, manual therapy, and early-stage post-operative management. Our kinesiologist-led post-surgical rehab in Langley picks up where physio leaves off: progressive exercise-based programming to rebuild strength, endurance, and functional capacity. Many clients see both, and we coordinate directly with your physiotherapist when helpful.
Yes. This is one of the most common reasons people come to us. Physio gets you stable. Our job is to rebuild the strength, confidence, and capacity that surgery and immobilization took away. We pick up exactly where clinical discharge left off and build toward the activity level you actually want to return to.
No referral is needed to book a free consult at Kenaz Training in Langley. For ICBC or WorkSafeBC cases, there may be an authorization step, but we can walk you through that process. Bring your surgeon's post-operative notes if you have them.
Yes. Every program starts from your surgeon's protocol and your current capacity. We progress based on how your body responds, not a calendar. Our kinesiologists are trained to work with post-surgical presentations and will never push faster than your healing allows. Fear of re-injury is something we hear from almost every post-surgical client. We build trust slowly and deliberately.
What You Can Expect Working With Us
- No pressure. The free consult is a conversation. We'll review your surgical history, ask about your goals, and tell you honestly whether we are the right fit. If we're not, we'll point you toward someone who is.
- A program built around your specific surgery. Before we write a single exercise, we review your surgeon's protocol and assess your current function. Nothing is templated. Nothing is generic.
- Safe, supervised training in a private space. You're in a private, appointment-only facility with kinesiologists who specialize in post-surgical recovery. No crowds, no judgment, no trying to figure it out on your own.
- Clear explanations, every session. Your kinesiologist will explain what you're doing, why you're doing it, and what to expect at each phase of recovery. No guessing.
- Adjustments when your recovery changes. Recovery is not linear. If something needs to change, it changes. You're not locked into a plan that no longer fits where you are.
- We coordinate with your team. If your surgeon, physiotherapist, or specialist needs to be in the loop, we make that happen. Your recovery doesn't fall through the cracks between providers.
