Pre-Surgery Exercise “Pre-hab”

Any surgery is likely to require a recovery period which can last from a few weeks to over a year!

Generally, the stronger and healthier you are leading into your surgery, the quicker and better you will recover.

Your SmartMoves physio can modify “Prehab” to be painfree and suitable to your needs.

Orthopaedic surgeons recommend almost equal strength prior to ACL repair surgery. The more work you do before, the less that needs to be done afterwards.

Surgeons also encourage weight loss and strength exercise prior to joint replacement surgery eg hips and knees. This can improve complications post-surgery and increase the lifespan of your new joint.
