Pre and Post Surgery
Whether you’re preparing for surgery or recovering after it, physiotherapy plays a vital role in improving outcomes and regaining independence.
Before Surgery (Prehabilitation)
Pre-surgical physiotherapy prepares your body to better handle surgery and speeds up recovery. Evidence shows prehab can reduce hospital stays by 1–2 days and decrease complication risks—setting you up for a smoother recovery.
Programs may include:
- Strengthening key muscle groups
- Reducing stiffness with targeted mobility work
- Guided exercises to optimise joint range and function
After Surgery (Rehabilitation)
Post-surgical physiotherapy supports healing and helps restore normal movement. It involves:
- Tailored exercises to rebuild strength and mobility
- Pain and swelling management
- Techniques to improve circulation and prevent complications like stiffness or clots
With physiotherapy, you’re not just recovering—you’re returning stronger and more confident.
