Surgery is a traumatic experience – even during the best circumstances. Most people are familiar with post-operative rehabilitation, but what about pre-operative rehab? We understand that therapy before surgery and the type of surgical intervention is unique to each person. The road to recovery doesn’t have to wait until after surgery.

Benefits of Pre- and Post- Operative Rehabilitation
A combination of a pre- and post- operative rehab program contributes to a successful recovery. Research suggests that pre-op rehabilitation exercise improves muscle power, body function, and proprioceptive sense necessary for our daily movements. Post-op is critical and highly recommended for patients that have had any orthopedic surgery in order to achieve the best possible outcome, ideally, to return to pre-injury activity level.
