Proactive with a Purpose
Prepare your body for surgery
In cases where the body can’t naturally heal due to stress, repetitive activities, or trauma, surgery may offer the best option for pain relief and recovery. However, physical therapy offers so much more than only post-surgical rehabilitation.
Prehabilitation (or prehab) at IPA Physio goes beyond a simple exercise program. It’s a fresh approach to body preparation for surgery, enhancing the prospects of long-term success by optimizing the body’s systems before the procedure.
Essentials Prior to Surgery
Your Body Needs Prehabilitation
Prehabilitation prepares the body for surgery. A conditioned body before surgery leads to improved post-surgical outcomes. We start with a thorough body analysis, creating a customized program to optimize function around the surgical area and the entire system.
This approach enhances post-surgical success, and in some cases, patients have even canceled their scheduled surgeries.
Prehabilitation Proved
Studies consistently show prehabilitation is extremely valuable in attaining a successful surgical outcome. This is true for the following surgical procedures, and more:
- Total joint replacement
- Spine surgery
- Rotator cuff repair and other shoulder surgeries
- ACL reconstruction and other knee surgeries
