Understanding Pre & Post-Op Rehabilitation

What is Pre & Post-Op Rehabilitation?

Often times post-surgery rehabilitation will be prescribed by surgeons after surgery of limbs and muscles related to movement which can bring along benefits such as:

• Better overall health and fitness before and after surgery
• A reduction in pain and inflammation of affected parts
• Mental preparation for surgery (in the case of Pre-Op Rehabilitation)
• A better preparation for post-surgery therapy (Pre-Op Rehabilitation)

What happens in Pre & Post-Op Rehabilitation?

• In the Case of Pre-Op Rehabilitation we condition the body through exercise in order to improve your strength which can result in better outcomes after surgery and help reduce the length of your hospital stay as well as reduce the need for Post-Op Rehabilitation, our therapists Perform Plus Physiotherapy will focus on areas such as your strength, balance, flexibility, joint stability, cardiovascular fitness and range of motion.

• And in the case of Post-Op Rehabilitation, which will happen after surgery, usually at the recommendation of a doctor or even if you feel like you’d like to improve your bodily functions and movements, we teach you pain management strategies and create a plan tailored to your needs for faster recovery. More importantly, we help you reduce the side effects of surgery such as pain and inflammation.

What to Expect?

• A thorough assessment to diagnose and identify specific problems.
• A personalized exercise plan based on scientific evidence and your unique needs.
• Consistency with home exercises is crucial for success.
• Improvement often happens within weeks, though full recovery can take longer for more complex cases.
