Pre & Post Surgery Rehabilitation

Pre-Operative Rehabilitation
Evidence has shown the benefits of exercise prior to Orthopaedic surgery.
We recommend pre-surgery rehab to ensure a better recovery process. After assessment you will be prescribed a pre-op exercise program to maintain function and strength as well as prepare you for your post-surgery program.

Post-Operative Rehabilitation
Rehabilitation post Orthopaedic Surgery is key to optimum recovery.
After surgery and through your recovery, we will assess your mobility, strength and function. According to the different phases of healing, your progress and goals, the therapist will prepare with you a rehabilitation exercise program.
We will liaise with your surgeons accordingly during your treatment.
Should you require surgery, we will make sure, to carefully bring you through each phase of your recovery.
We are very particular, and tailor the rehabilitation program for every patient, while also strictly adhering to the surgeon's recovery protocols. This ensures that you make a full recovery in the shortest possible time. 

​How Rehabilitation Post surgery will help you
Rehabilitation after surgery should begin immediately in hospital, however it is important that once you have been discharged you continue rehab to achieve the best possible recovery. We will encourage you to carry out a range of exercises to strengthen and mobilise any affected joints and muscles and this will also help to improve circulatory or respiratory problems that may have developed in hospital.
We offer a wide range of therapeutic procedures to treat and rehabilitate the patient from healing time to return to physical activity or sport. ​
