At Cheshire Physioactive, we believe that rehabilitation should begin before surgery, not after it. Our specialist pre- and post-operative physiotherapy service is designed to prepare you physically and mentally for surgery, optimise your recovery and help you achieve the best possible outcome.
Pre-operative rehabilitation, sometimes referred to as prehabilitation, allows us to establish your current strength, mobility, function and confidence before your operation. We can provide carefully prescribed exercises to help optimise your physical condition before surgery, so you are as well prepared as possible for the demands of the recovery period.
It also gives you the opportunity to understand what to expect. We take time to discuss the operative process, likely stages of recovery, rehabilitation milestones and realistic expectations, helping you feel informed and confident about what lies ahead. Where appropriate, we can establish baseline measurements and develop a clear rehabilitation plan that can be reviewed following surgery.
Following your operation, rehabilitation is tailored to your individual procedure, needs and goals. We work progressively to restore movement, strength, balance, function and confidence, while ensuring exercise and activity are advanced safely and appropriately.
Our physiotherapists can also monitor your progress objectively and provide clear reports documenting your recovery, including your starting point, rehabilitation goals, progress and functional outcomes. This can be particularly valuable when working alongside your consultant or surgical team.
Whether you are preparing for a joint replacement, orthopaedic procedure, sports surgery or another musculoskeletal operation, expert rehabilitation can play an important role in maximising recovery and helping you return to the activities that matter to you.
Prepare well. Understand what to expect. Rehabilitate with purpose. Return to what you love.
