Pre-operative Preparation

For those requiring surgery, our physiotherapy team offers pre-operative preparation, enabling the physiotherapist to assess the pre-operative condition of patients to compare with that post-operatively. During this pre-operative preparation session, patients are taught any recommended exercises for the immediate post-operative hours and days, and given a written outline of the proposed post-operative rehabilitation process.

If walking aids will be necessary, the patient is taught how to use them before the surgery so that walking difficulties do not arise once the operation has been performed.
