Pre-Operative Physio

Giving surgery a leg-up

We understand undergoing any type of orthopaedic surgery is a challenge, but if you undertake some pre-operative physiotherapy, you can optimise your ability to recover and get an introduction to your post-surgery exercise plan.

Why should you exercise before surgery?

Guided exercise in preparation for surgery has been shown in many cases to improve the immediate recovery from surgery. This is likely because you will be fitter and stronger to support your affected limb. In some cases, it may prevent the need for surgery all together! Additionally, post-operative rehabilitation often takes a similar approach to pre-operative exercise, so you will be more familiar and better prepared for your recovery!
