#pre-hab

Surgery can be very painful and traumatic for the body to go through, so it’s typically only performed when there are simply no other choices available. If surgery is in the immediate future, you might have already addressed a post-operative physical therapy appointment with your doctor.

It’s no secret that having physical therapy after an injury or surgery helps you recover faster. But what if there was a way to prevent an injury in the first place? Or what if there was a way to speed recovery from surgery long before you went under the knife?

Pre-hab or preventative rehabilitation helps patients heal faster after surgery, speeds recovery, and, in many cases, prevents injury in the first place.

Many people think that physical therapy is only needed after their surgery. But preoperative physical therapy, sometimes called “prehabilitation,” is hugely beneficial in more ways than one. Check out the top three reasons to consult with a physical therapist before heading to the operating room.
