Frequently Asked Questions

Why is pre-surgery care important, and how does it benefit recovery?
Pre-surgery care helps improve your physical condition before surgery, assisting a faster recovery and better outcomes. By strengthening the muscles around the surgical area and improving flexibility, it reduces the physical stress of surgery and enhances your ability to heal quickly. It also helps you understand the recovery process, reducing anxiety and preparing you for rehabilitation.
What should I expect during post-surgery rehabilitation?
Post-surgery rehabilitation helps you regain mobility, strength and function through a structured process. It begins with gentle exercises to prevent stiffness and improve circulation, progressing to more challenging movements as you recover. Your program is tailored to your surgery, and we offer education on pain management and safe return to daily activities.
How long does post-surgery care usually take?
The length of post-surgery care depends on the type of surgery and your recovery progress. Minor surgeries may require a few weeks of rehabilitation, while complex procedures can take several months. We monitor your progress and adjust your program to facilitate safe and effective recovery.
