Integrated Care at Human 2.0

How the Care Model Works

At Human 2.0, consultation, rehabilitation and training happen in one facility, and the practitioners involved in your care communicate directly with each other.

Your Care Pathway:

1. Consultation with Dr. Raynor: Assessment, diagnosis and treatment plan

2. Physiotherapy (if needed): Evidence-based rehabilitation with a team hand-picked by Dr. Raynor

3. Massage Therapy (if appropriate): Therapeutic massage to support comfort during recovery

4. Training: Progressive return to activity and performance training

5. Ongoing Support: All practitioners communicate and coordinate your care

What Integration Means in Practice:

• Seamless transitions between care phases

• Consistent philosophy across all practitioners

• No information lost between providers

• One convenient location

Conservative Management First

Dr. Raynor believes in exhausting appropriate conservative options before considering surgery. Many conditions improve with:

• Physiotherapy and exercise therapy

• Activity modification

• Manual therapy and massage

• Targeted strengthening programs

• Movement pattern correction

When Surgery Is Needed: If conservative management fails or your condition requires surgical intervention, you'll receive:

• Clear explanation of the surgical procedure

• Realistic expectations for outcomes, including the risks

• A recovery timeline for your specific procedure

• Pre-operative physiotherapy (prehab) when beneficial

• Coordinated post-operative rehabilitation

Shared Decision Making

All recommendations are based on:

• Current research and clinical evidence

• Your specific condition and circumstances

• Your goals and activity level

• Risk-benefit analysis

• Realistic outcome expectations

Whether to have surgery is a decision you make together. Dr. Raynor will explain why an approach is recommended, what the alternatives are, and what each is and isn't likely to achieve, so you can weigh it against your own goals.

Pre-Operative & Post-Operative Care

Pre-Operative Preparation (Prehab)

If surgery is scheduled, pre-operative physiotherapy is often worth doing:

• Build strength and mobility before surgery

• Learn post-operative exercises in advance

• Know what the recovery process involves

• Set realistic expectations

Post-Operative Rehabilitation

Coordinated Recovery:

• Dr. Raynor communicates directly with your physiotherapist

• Rehabilitation protocols based on your surgical procedure

• Progressive return to activity

• Regular follow-ups with Dr. Raynor

• Transition to performance training when you're ready

General Recovery Ranges:

The figures below are broad orientation ranges, not predictions for your case. Real timelines vary with the specific procedure, what is found at surgery, and the individual — age, prior function, other injuries and how rehabilitation goes. The protocol set by your operating surgeon governs your recovery, not this page.

• Arthroscopic procedures: roughly 3-6 months to full activity

• Ligament reconstruction (ACL): roughly 9-12 months to sport

• Rotator cuff repair: roughly 4-6 months to full function

• Hip arthroscopy: roughly 3-6 months to full activity
