Pre-Operative Rehabilitation
Pre-Operative Rehabilitation: Preparing for Surgery
Research shows that patients who are physically and mentally prepared before surgery often experience better outcomes and recover faster. This preparation, often called “prehab,” focuses on building strength, resilience, and confidence for a smoother post-operative journey.
Our Pre-Operative Rehabilitation Program includes tailored exercises designed by physiotherapists and exercise physiologists to ensure you’re as strong and well-prepared as possible. The goal is to minimize muscle loss, support the surgical area, and help you enter surgery in optimal condition.
Key Components of Pre-Operative Rehabilitation:
Targeted Muscle Strengthening: Building muscles around the area to be operated on, enhancing stability and reducing post-surgical muscle wasting.
Functional Conditioning: Improving overall strength, flexibility, and joint mobility to prepare your body for post-surgical demands.
Safe Exercise Environment: Offering a structured, safe environment for pre-surgery conditioning with professional guidance.
Educational Preparation: Educating you on what to expect post-operatively, including pain management, mobility aids, and the steps of the rehab process.
Stress Reduction and Psychological Support: Providing breathing techniques and relaxation strategies to reduce anxiety, allowing for a more positive surgical experience.
Pre-Operative Rehabilitation Benefits: A strong, well-prepared body responds better to surgery and can speed up recovery time. Our goal is to enhance your resilience, helping you enter surgery with confidence and the tools you need for a successful outcome.
