Pre-Surgical Physiotherapy
Are you preparing for surgery?
Preparing for surgery can be a daunting experience, but at Active Rehab Centre, we believe in empowering our patients to take an active role in their recovery journey. Our pre-surgical physiotherapy program is designed to optimize your physical health and prepare you for surgery, ensuring the best possible outcomes and a smoother recovery process.
Why consider pre-surgical physiotherapy?
Pre-surgical physiotherapy, also known as prehabilitation, involves undergoing physiotherapy treatment before surgery to enhance your physical fitness, strength, and mobility. There are several benefits to participating in pre-surgical physiotherapy, including:
-
Prehabilitation can help optimize your physical condition before surgery, reducing the risk of complications and enhancing your body's ability to heal and recover.
-
By improving your physical fitness and mobility before surgery, prehabilitation can help you recover more quickly and regain function sooner after the procedure.
-
Pre-surgical physiotherapy can teach you pain management and exercises to prepare you for post-operative pain management, reducing the need for pain medication and improving your overall comfort during recovery.
-
Studies have shown that patients who undergo prehabilitation before surgery may experience shorter hospital stays and a reduced need for rehabilitation services after discharge.
-
Pre-surgical physiotherapy can help alleviate anxiety and fear about the upcoming surgery by empowering you with the knowledge and skills needed to actively participate in your recovery process.
