Pre & Post Surgery Rehabilitation
The success of your recovery from surgery is not just dependent on the surgery alone, but also on your pre and post-surgical rehabilitation.
A structured and prescribed exercise program helps to restore range of movement, decrease pain, improve muscle strength and mobility, and get you back doing the things you love more quickly.
Pre Surgery
The preoperative stage is the time before you undergo your surgery which includes education about your procedure and strength and mobility exercises to complete pre and post surgery. The goal is to ensure you are well equipped both physically and mentally before surgery to enhance your post-operative recovery.
There are a range of benefits that preoperative education and exercises provide which include:
Reducing stress related to your surgery
Decreasing hospital length of stay
Increase in post-operative function
Decrease in post-operative pain
Post Surgery
Research strongly suggests that patients have greater postoperative outcomes when education and exercises are taught prior to surgery. Postoperative rehab is an important aspect in decreasing hospital length of stay, increasing function and increasing range of movement.
Our physiotherapists will provide a range of treatments techniques inclusive of joint mobilisations and soft tissue techniques such as deep tissue release and massage to help guide your post-operative rehabilitation.
