🧐 TRUE or FALSE: You should do physical therapy before surgery?
✅ TRUE!
Doing physical therapy before surgery, often called “prehab”, can help you recover faster, reduce complications, and improve your overall outcome.
💪 Prehab helps you:
• Build strength before surgery
• Improve mobility and stamina
• Learn how to move safely post-op
• Reduce post-surgical pain
• Get back to your life quicker
In some cases, physical therapy can even delay or prevent the need for surgery altogether.
Thinking about surgery? Talk to us first. Our team at Atlantic Physical Therapy can help you prepare, recover, and thrive.
