If you have a knee replacement, ACL reconstruction, or hip surgery scheduled, you are likely focused on the recovery after the operation. But what if you could make that recovery 50% faster and much less painful? This is the power of "Pre-hab."
At Milton Physiotherapy Plus, we are experts in surgical preparation. We know that the stronger and more mobile you are going into the operating room, the better your outcome will be coming out of it.
Why Pre-hab is a Standard
Research consistently shows that patients who participate in pre-surgical physiotherapy experience:
-
Faster Return to Work/Sport: Your muscles don't "atrophy" (waste away) as quickly post-surgery.
-
Reduced Post-Op Pain: Better circulation and joint health going in means less inflammation coming out.
-
Higher Surgical Success Rates: Surgeons prefer operating on strong, flexible tissues.
Our Pre-hab Program
We customize your "Pre-hab" to your specific surgery:
-
For Knee/Hip Replacements: We focus on quadriceps strength and "gait training" with walkers or crutches so you are an expert before you actually need them.
-
For Shoulder Surgery: We improve the mobility of the surrounding joints (like the neck and mid-back) to take the load off the surgical site during healing.
-
For Spinal Surgery: We teach you "log-rolling" and safe movement patterns before your movements are restricted.
Don’t wait for the surgery to start your recovery. Book your Pre-hab assessment with Milton Physiotherapy Plus today at 905-876-8885!
