What is prehab and why is it important?

Prehab is physiotherapy before surgery. It helps improve strength and mobility, which can lead to a smoother recovery and better outcomes after your operation.

When should I start physiotherapy before surgery?

Ideally, as soon as you know you’re having surgery. The earlier you begin, the more prepared your body will be.

How soon can I start rehab after surgery?

This depends on your procedure, but rehabilitation often starts soon after surgery with guided support from your physiotherapist.

What types of surgery do you support?

We support a wide range of procedures, including joint replacements, ligament repairs, fractures, and other orthopaedic surgeries.

Pre & post op rehabilitation

What Is Pre & Post Operative Rehabilitation?

Pre and post operative rehabilitation is a structured approach to preparing your body for surgery and supporting your recovery afterwards. It focuses on improving strength, mobility, and overall function to give you the best possible outcome.

Pre-operative physiotherapy (prehab) helps you go into surgery in a stronger, more prepared state. Post-operative rehabilitation then supports healing, restores movement, and helps you regain confidence in your body.

At Motion, every plan is tailored to your procedure, your current ability, and your recovery goals.
