Pre and post-operative rehabilitation are specialised physiotherapy programs designed to help patients prepare for and recover from surgery. Pre-operative (pre-op) rehab focuses on getting your body in the best possible shape before surgery, which can lead to better outcomes and faster recovery. Post-operative (post-op) rehab, on the other hand, is aimed at helping you regain strength, mobility, and function after your surgery.
Yes, pre-op rehab can significantly improve surgical outcomes, reduce the risk of complications, and speed up your recovery process by preparing your body for the physical demands of surgery.
The timing varies depending on the type of surgery, but post-op rehab typically begins shortly after surgery, once your doctor gives the approval to ensure safe and effective recovery.
Some discomfort is normal, especially in the early stages, but our physiotherapists will ensure that the exercises are manageable and will adjust the plan according to your pain tolerance.
The duration of post-op rehab depends on the type of surgery and your individual progress, but most programs last several weeks to a few months, with regular assessments to track your recovery.
For pre-op rehab, be ready to discuss your medical history and surgery details as well as wearing comfortable clothing to get started on your exercise program today!
For post-op rehab, follow any specific instructions given by your surgeon and physiotherapist at the hospital and ensure you have a clear understanding of your post-surgery care plan. until you can come in for assessment at our clinic and we will take it from there!
