Recover Quicker With Pre-Surgical Rehab

Undergoing surgery can be a daunting experience, often followed by a painful and lengthy recovery process. However, with the right preparation, you can significantly ease this journey and enhance your recovery outcomes.

If you’re scheduled for surgery, it’s crucial to take proactive steps to ensure the best possible recovery. Pre-surgical rehab, or “Pre-Hab,” prepares your body for the demands of surgery and helps accelerate your return to daily activities. Our physiotherapists at Adaptive Allied Health in Booragoon are dedicated to helping you cut down your recovery time and improve your overall health outcomes.

By starting rehabilitation before your surgery, you can strengthen your body, increase your resilience, and potentially reduce your post-operative pain. This preparation is not only about physical conditioning but also involves understanding what to expect during recovery and how to manage pain effectively.

At Adaptive Allied Health, we are committed to providing comprehensive support and personalized care. Our experienced team is here to ensure that you enter surgery in optimal physical condition and with greater peace of mind, setting the stage for a smoother and faster recovery.

What Exactly Is Pre-Hab?

Pre-surgical rehabilitation, often simply called “pre-hab,” is increasingly being recommended by surgeons to enhance patient outcomes. Research has demonstrated that engaging in physiotherapy about a month before surgery can notably accelerate your recovery process.

The thought of undergoing surgery can understandably cause anxiety. However, participating in a pre-hab program can help alleviate these concerns by preparing you both physically and mentally for your upcoming procedure.

What Can Pre-Hab Do For Me?

Undergoing surgery is a significant event that can have a profound impact on your body, and it is generally considered only when there are no less invasive alternatives. According to leading health research, engaging in exercise therapy before surgery can improve your post-operative results and shorten your recovery period—so it’s definitely worth considering.

Pre-hab aims to enhance your strength and provide pain relief in preparation for surgery. It also prepares you mentally by fostering an overall sense of well-being. Through pre-hab, you’ll improve your range of motion and movement patterns with exercises designed to be performed both before and after your surgery, facilitating a quicker return to normal activity. Overall, physiotherapy will help you enhance your physical health and promote general wellness. Still curious about how this works? Continue reading to learn more.

Why Should I Consider Pre-Hab?

Considering pre-surgical rehabilitation (pre-hab) can significantly enhance your surgical success. Here are six key benefits:

Improved Outcomes: Pre-hab can lead to better overall surgical outcomes and potentially reduce healthcare costs. Being in stronger physical condition before surgery increases the likelihood of a successful operation.
Reduced Complications: Engaging in physiotherapy, particularly exercise programs, can boost your strength and endurance. This enhancement can improve your immune system, reducing the likelihood of post-surgical infections.
Pain Reduction: Our physiotherapists can help alleviate pre-surgery pain through various treatments such as manual therapy, exercises, massage, and the application of ice and heat.
Increased Stamina: Any surgical procedure can result in a loss of strength. Pre-hab helps mitigate this loss by bolstering your stamina before the operation, ensuring you're in the best possible condition to handle and recover from surgery.
Shorter Recovery Period: Completing a pre-hab program before your surgery can smooth your recovery process. Starting surgery with strong, toned muscles helps you return to your regular activities much faster.
Potential to Avoid Surgery: In some cases, pre-hab can improve your condition to the point where surgery may not be necessary. Though not always guaranteed, some patients experience significant pain relief and improvement that they opt to cancel their surgical procedures. If your condition improves dramatically with physiotherapy, it might be worth discussing with your physician whether you can manage your condition through continued conservative treatment.
