What Is Pre- and Post-Surgery Rehabilitation?
Pre- and post-surgery rehabilitation focuses on preparing the body for surgery and supporting recovery afterwards.
Before surgery, rehabilitation can help improve strength, mobility and joint function. This preparation is often referred to as “pre-habilitation” and can help the body recover more effectively following the procedure.
After surgery, rehabilitation aims to restore movement, rebuild strength and gradually return you to normal activities. A structured rehabilitation plan helps ensure the joint or area that has been operated on regains stability and function safely.
Common Symptoms
Rehabilitation is commonly recommended for procedures involving:
- Knee surgery (such as ligament or cartilage procedures)
- Shoulder surgery
- Hip surgery
- Spinal procedures
- Tendon repairs
Rehabilitation may begin before surgery and continue for several weeks or months during recovery.
