Our team at Total Physiotherapy pride ourselves on the results we achieve with our patients in their Pre- & Post-Orthopaedic Surgical Rehabilitation. We work closely with Orthopaedic Specialists and have developed an excellent rapport with many surgeons in the local area. We will communicate regularly with your GP and Orthopaedic Specialist to remain updated on your progress along your rehabilitation journey. 

Prehabilitation - This is rehabilitation prior to surgery. A physiotherapist can help prepare you for surgery by working on your range of motion, swelling, strength and stability as appropriate. They will also educate you on your injury and mentally prepare you for surgery and the post-op rehabilitation. Clinical outcomes for many surgeries are shown to be better in patients who participate in prehabilitation. 

Post-op Rehabilitation - Your physio will work with you on goal-setting, based on the sports/activities you wish to return to. They will set out a clear management plan, targets and timeframes to guide and support you along the way. Similarly to prehab, your physio will also work on your range of motion, swelling, strength and stability as appropriate. They will use manual therapy techniques, exercise prescription and education to deliver optimum results.
