Getting Back to Normal: Life After a Knee Replacement at Clifton Park Hospital


At Clifton Park Hospital, we take pride in providing expert care and support to help our patients regain their mobility and return to the activities they love. One of our recent patients has shared their inspiring journey following a total knee replacement with Mr Neil Hunt, and we couldn’t be more thrilled with their progress.

A Journey to Recovery

Recovering from a knee replacement takes dedication, and we understand how important it is for our patients to feel supported every step of the way. One of our recent patients reached out to express their gratitude for the care they received:

“I’m writing to express my gratitude for the outstanding professional care and attention that I received throughout my total knee replacement procedure and follow-up. You will be pleased to learn that I have just returned from a walking holiday in Madeira, have rejoined the gym and swimming pool, and am about to rejoin my regular Monday night tennis session. I am particularly indebted to physiotherapist, Duane Jordan, for the sensible and realistic exercises that he offered me in order to speed my recovery. Please pass on my thanks to him.”

Mr. Burke, York
