Pre Surgical Prehab
We help you prepare for surgery by building strength, mobility, and endurance — giving you the best chance at a smooth and complete recovery.
What Is it?
Pre-surgical rehabilitation — or “prehab” — prepares your body for the stress of surgery by improving strength, mobility, and tissue quality before your procedure. Research shows that patients who complete prehab recover faster, experience fewer complications, and return to function more quickly after surgery.
Our Approach
Before surgery, we focus on building strength, restoring motion, and preparing your body for optimal healing. Your therapist creates a custom plan based on your procedure and goals. Prehab helps shorten recovery time, reduce complications, and give you a head start on post-surgical rehab — so you go in strong and come out stronger.
Conditions We Treat
We help you build strength and restore mobility before surgery to improve recovery outcomes and reduce complications.
Conditions We Prepare For:
• Degenerative joint disease
• Soft tissue tears (ACL, labrum, rotator cuff)
• Chronic disc-related pain
• Abdominal surgeries
• Joint replacements (hip, knee, shoulder)
• Spinal discectomies and fusions
What Can I Expect
In your first session, we evaluate your movement, strength, and goals related to your upcoming surgery. You’ll start mobility, balance, or strengthening work immediately — always tailored to your body and surgical plan. We will help you prepare for the first days after surgery by reviewing what to expect and providing you tools for improved recovery. The goal is to build resilience ahead of time so your post-op recovery is faster and more complete.
What Are the Benefits
• Improved strength and mobility before surgery
• Shorter, more efficient post-op recovery
• Better outcomes and fewer complications
• Confidence and readiness going into your procedure
• Smoother transition from surgery to rehab
• Expert guidance to help avoid unnecessary surgical procedures
Additional FAQs
Is prehab really worth it before surgery?
Yes! Studies show that patients who do prehab often recover faster, have fewer complications, and regain function more quickly.
What does a prehab session look like?
We assess your mobility, strength, and function, then build a plan that targets your specific surgical area and overall readiness. You'll practice exercises for both pre and post-op to reduce pain and recover faster. Hands-on techniques to improve mobility and circulation will help prepare your body for healing.
