The Clavadel Rehab Centre is situated in Guildford, Surrey, but takes patients from across the country, including London. The Clavadel is a specialist centre that has the ideal set-up for looking after patients after knee or hip replacement surgery. It has an excellent on-site 24-hr nursing team, with in-house specialist physiotherapists with gym areas and its own state-of-the-art hydrotherapy pool. The Clavadel Rehab Centre is the ideal place to go as a step-down facility after leaving hospital post-operatively, before heading back to one’s own home, and the team from London Sports Orthopaedics cannot recommend it highly enough.
