Can you recommend a decent set of resistance/fitness/exercise bands to aid rehab from surgery?

I had hip replacement surgery 7 weeks ago and my surgeon and Physio has recommended some exercises which use resistance bands.
Can anyone recommend a set that they've bought (ideally with link :)?
I'm probably happy to spend up to £25.
Thanks

I’m watching your thread, @CowCowSheep! I have awful arthritis and I must keep up some forms of exercise to keep my muscles working, and I think resistance work would be really helpful.

The temptation to just do some ‘light physio’ hasn’t been doing me any good at all. My quads & knees especially need workouts. I can barely manage the stairs these days.

When I had hip surgery the hospital physio gave the these rubber band things. They seemed reasonable. Did you get those? Obviously they won't last forever.

no, I didn't get any rubber bands from hospital.

I brought these from Amazon and have been using them to rehab myself after a running injury. I’ve been very pleased with them for the price.

Sports Direct. I got a pack of 3, each with a different "tension".

They are all much of a muchness really. Don't spend too much, just get any set of say 5 with varying resistance, they should be under a tenner from amazon.
