Prehab is a proactive approach that prepares your body for surgery. By strengthening the muscles surrounding the surgical site, improving your overall fitness, and addressing any limitations, you can:
​
✓ Reduce recovery time
✓ Minimise complications
✓ Improve surgical outcomes
Personalised assessment
A biokineticist will evaluate your strength, flexibility, balance, and pre-existing conditions.

Exercise program
Tailored exercises are designed to strengthen target muscles, improve range of motion, and enhance overall fitness.

Education
We'll guide proper movement techniques, pain management strategies, and what to expect post-surgery.
Following surgery, rehabilitation continues to play a crucial role in your recovery. This phase focuses on:
​
✓ Pain management
✓ Restoring movement
