Pre & Post Surgery Physiotherapy

Pre- and post-operative physiotherapy is essential for individuals undergoing surgery, ensuring optimal outcomes and accelerating recovery. Pre-operative physiotherapy prepares the body for surgery by strengthening muscles, improving flexibility, educating patients on post-surgical care, and improving recovery time. Post-operative physiotherapy focusses on restoring function, reducing pain, and preventing complications through guided exercises, manual therapy, and rehabilitation programs. This comprehensive approach supports patients through every stage of their surgical journey and helps them regain their independence more quickly.
