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?
It can be challenging to be ready for medical treatments like surgery or chemotherapy, but our physiotherapists at GM Physiotherapy are here to support you through every step. Before surgery or other medical treatments, our experienced physiotherapists run customised pre-habilitation programs to help you get in better shape and feel better. This will help you become stronger, heal faster, and get greater results, especially in your post-operative recovery.
People have been talking about pre-habilitation for a long time for orthopaedic surgery like ACL or knee replacement. But there is strong evidence that it can also aid people who are going through chemotherapy or other serious medical treatments.
We at GM Physiotherapy make sure that our pre-habilitation programs are tailored to your needs and goals, whether you’re getting ready for surgery or chemotherapy. This will make your rehab more comprehensive and let you move more freely. We begin with a complete assessment to uncover any problems or areas of weakness in your functional health, particularly related to chronic pain. Next, we make a tailored strategy for your health and well-being that you may follow before your surgery or therapy, incorporating elements of a physiotherapy program.
Components of Pre-habilitation
Your prehab regimen and protocol may consist of manual therapy, exercise scripts, pain management interventions, etc. These will depend on what you need and want to personalise your recovery after surgery.
Exercise Prescription: One of our skilled physiotherapists will design unique workout plans that will challenge you based on your current abilities and range of motion. The aim is to help you feel stronger, more flexible, and more fit for what you need from your cardiovascular health through a tailored physiotherapy program.
Nutrition: Ideas to change your diet and make it a healing food, and give you strength. Dialysis patients can receive prehabilitation (prehab) programs that focus on exercise and nutrition and improve their physical and holistic health before treatment. These plans could help them to feel better to continue attending dialysis treatment and also improve their overall quality of life at times around medical treatment, similar to a post-operative physiotherapy approach.
Your lifestyle: Our physiotherapists will share practical tips to better manage stress, increase the quality of your sleep, and optimise your wellbeing so that you are in the best possible position before your surgery or treatment.
Prehabilitation does more than prepare your body for surgery; it also helps to regain strength and resilience. It’s also about empowering you with the information through hands-on skills to care for yourself and take control of your health in a more well-rounded manner. While you are getting ready for your health journey, we’ll teach you, help you, and motivate you every step of the way so you feel strong and certain.
