Understanding Pre-Surgical Rehabilitation

Pre-surgical rehabilitation, also known as prehab, focuses on improving your physical function before surgery to enhance your ability to recover afterward.

Benefits of pre-surgical rehab:

• Stronger muscles to support the surgical area
• Improved cardiovascular fitness
• Better joint mobility and flexibility
• Reduced risk of post-surgical complications
• Faster return to daily activities
• Shorter hospital stays

Our physiotherapists work with your surgeon’s recommendations to create a personalized prehab program.
At Tonic Physio Milton, we understand that better preparation leads to better recovery. Our pre-surgical program helps you go into surgery stronger and more confident.

How Pre-Surgical Rehabilitation Works

Our pre-surgical rehab program is tailored to your specific surgery and current physical condition.

Our program includes:

Muscle Strengthening: Targeted exercises to build strength in muscles surrounding the surgical area.
Range of Motion Work: Gentle stretching and mobility exercises to maximize joint flexibility before surgery.
Cardiovascular Conditioning: Light aerobic exercise to improve heart and lung function for better surgical tolerance.
Balance and Coordination: Exercises to improve stability and reduce fall risk during recovery.

We adjust your program based on your surgery type and timeline.
If you are scheduled for surgery in Milton, Tonic Physio provides expert pre-surgical rehabilitation with direct billing to most insurance providers.
