Pre-Surgery & Post-Surgery Rehabilitation
Proper preparation before surgery is one of the most significant factors in fast and effective recovery. At PhysioNorth, we focus on a prehabilitation process designed to optimally prepare your body for surgery.
Why is preparation for surgery important? Studies show that patients who arrive for surgery in better physical condition: • Recover faster • Experience less pain after surgery • Return to function sooner • Have a reduced risk of complications The stronger the body and the greater the range of motion before the intervention, the better the body copes with the surgical procedure. What does the preparation process include? 🔹 Comprehensive professional assessment • Range of motion testing • Muscle strength evaluation • Identification of functional limitations • Personalized treatment plan - goal setting What the treatment includes 🔹 Muscle strengthening and preparation • Strengthening muscles relevant to the surgery • Improving stability and motor control • Core muscle work • Working with advanced resistance equipment 🔹 Improving range of motion • Reducing stiffness • Maintaining and even improving joint mobility • Manual therapy on joints • Massage and passive stretching 🔹 Pre-surgery guidance • Explanation of the post-surgery rehabilitation stages • Learning early exercises for the post-operative phase Which surgeries is this suitable for? Surgery preparation is especially suited for: • Knee surgeries (ACL, joint replacement) • Hip surgeries • Shoulder surgeries • Back and spine surgeries • Any planned orthopedic surgery Notable benefits of Prehabilitation ✔ Shortened post-surgery rehabilitation time ✔ Faster return to daily activity and sports ✔ Reduced pain and complications ✔ Better control of the recovery process
