Why Pre-Surgical Therapy Matters

Surgery is a significant stressor on the body, and patients who enter procedures in better physical condition often experience:

  • Shorter hospital stays
  • Reduced risk of complications (e.g., infections, blood clots)
  • Faster recovery times
  • Less post-operative pain
  • Improved long-term outcomes

Our prehabilitation program ensures you’re not just physically ready for surgery but also equipped to heal efficiently.

Key Components of Our Pre-Surgical Therapy Program

1. Strength and Endurance Building

Surgery demands physical resilience. We focus on:

  • Targeted strength training for muscles around the surgical site.
  • Cardiovascular conditioning to improve stamina.
  • Core stabilization exercises to support recovery.

2. Mobility and Flexibility Optimization

Improved mobility reduces surgical risks and recovery time:

  • Range-of-motion exercises to prepare joints and muscles.
  • Stretching routines to enhance flexibility.
  • Functional movement drills to simulate post-surgery activities.

3. Pain Management Education

Learn strategies to manage post-operative pain effectively:

  • Breathing techniques to reduce stress and pain perception.
  • Modalities (e.g., ice, heat, electrical stimulation) for comfort.
  • Early mobility plans to prevent stiffness.

4. Surgical Site Preparation

Strengthen the area around the surgical site to promote healing:

  • Soft tissue mobilization to improve circulation.
  • Scar tissue prevention techniques to optimize skin and muscle health.

5. Education and Goal Setting

We empower you with knowledge and realistic expectations:

  • Pre-surgery guidelines for activity, diet, and rest.
  • Post-operative exercise plans to follow after surgery.
  • Milestone tracking to celebrate progress.
