Pre-surgical conditioning involves exercises and physical preparations designed to optimize the body’s function, strength, and resilience before undergoing surgery. This program aims to improve cardiovascular fitness, muscle strength, flexibility, and joint mobility to enhance recovery and minimize complications after surgery.
Therapists tailor the pre-surgical conditioning program to the individual’s needs, focusing on strengthening the muscles that will be impacted by the surgery and improving overall physical fitness. The goal is to improve postoperative outcomes, reduce recovery time, and minimize the risk of complications.
Pre-surgical conditioning is beneficial for individuals undergoing major surgeries, especially orthopedic procedures, as it prepares the body for the physical demands of the healing process.
