pre / post surgical rehabilitation

 

 

Post-surgical rehabilitation is as important as the surgery itself, allowing a physical therapist to constantly monitor your progress, coordinate with the surgeon and make changes to your rehabilitation when needed. 

 

Pre-surgical rehab (Prehab) is important in getting your muscles and joints ready for surgery so that you will recover quicker post-op. It is also beneficial to be educated on what to expect post-operatively and learning the exercises you will be doing after your surgery.

​

After your surgery your surgeon will have specific protocols to follow. Working in coordination with your surgeon or hospitals specific protocols, we will assist you to make your post-op recovery as smooth as possible.
