Pre-habilitate to improve outcomes and recovery from medical and surgical treatments
Improved Treatment Outcomes
Studies have shown that patients who undergo pre-habilitation before medical interventions such as chemotherapy experience improved treatment outcomes, reduced complications, and enhanced recovery.
Enhanced Physical Fitness
Pre-habilitation helps improve your cardiovascular health, muscle strength, and overall physical fitness, making you better equipped to tolerate the demands of medical or surgical interventions and rehabilitation.
Reduced Treatment Side Effects
By strengthening your body and improving your overall health, pre-habilitation can help reduce treatment side effects and complications, leading to a smoother recovery process.
Faster Recovery
Pre-habilitation prepares your body for the physical stresses of medical and surgical interventions, leading to a faster and more successful recovery period.
What is Pre-habilitation?
Preparing for medical interventions such as surgery or chemotherapy can be a challenging process, but at GM Physiotherapy, we’re here to support you every step of the way. Our specialised pre-habilitation programs are designed to optimise your physical health and well-being before medical and surgical interventions, improving your outcomes and enhancing your recovery.
Traditionally, pre-habilitation has been recommended for orthopaedic operations such as hip replacement or knee replacement, but there is strong evidence for the benefits of pre-habilitation in chemotherapy and other intensive medical treatments.
At GM Physiotherapy, our pre-habilitation programs are tailored to meet your individual needs and goals, whether you’re preparing for surgery or medical treatments such as chemotherapy. We begin with a comprehensive assessment to identify any areas of weakness or concern, and from there, we develop a personalised treatment plan designed to optimize your health and well-being before your procedure or treatment.
Components of Pre-habilitation
Depending on your specific needs and goals, your prehabilitation program may include:
- Exercise Prescription: Customised exercise programs designed to improve strength, flexibility, and cardiovascular fitness, tailored to your current level of fitness and mobility.
- Nutritional Guidance: Recommendations for dietary modifications to optimize your nutrition and support your body’s healing process before and after medical interventions.
- Lifestyle Modifications: Strategies for managing stress, improving sleep quality, and promoting overall well-being to ensure you’re in the best possible shape for your procedure or treatment.
Pre-habilitation is not only about preparing your body for medical interventions – it’s also about empowering you to take control of your health and well-being. Our team provides education, support, and encouragement every step of the way, helping you feel confident and empowered as you prepare for your medical journey.
