Pre-Operative Conditioning is a short-term physical therapy program designed to help your body become as strong as possible prior to surgery.
Research studies have shown that patients participating in supervised pre-operative conditioning programs recover faster and experience fewer complications after surgery.
By prescribing Pre-Operative Conditioning program, your surgeon is increasing the likelihood of a faster recovery, an easier rehabilitation, and a successful surgical outcome.
We can also help prepare you for what to expect in the days and weeks following your surgery, with:
- Training on how to use a walker, wheelchair or crutches.
- Preparation for your anticipated post-operative rehabilitation.
- Techniques for effective pain management.
- Realistic recovery expectations and precautions specific to your surgical procedure
After surgery:
- We look forward to helping you recover as quickly and safely as possible. Our coordination of your pre-operative conditioning allows us to play a more active and valuable role in your long-term recovery and post-operative physical rehabilitation.
