Pre and Post Operative Exercise

Pre and Post Operative Exercise Physiology for Lower Limbs

Exercise Physiology is highly valuable in achieving the best outcomes for your lower limb Surgery.

Seeing an Exercise Physiologist before surgery can greatly improve the condition of your muscles, tendons and ligaments which provide your joints support. We focus on correcting strength, flexibility and postural imbalances impacting each joint and then develop strength progressively from this foundation.

Immediately after surgery a physiotherapist is the best professional to work with. After this acute phase your physiotherapist will give you the all clear to engage with another health professional. This is where an Exercise Physiologist is the most highly trained professional for the Job. From this point onwards we will work with you on a strength and conditioning program to achieve your long term goals. Whether it be to simply walk 3km comfortably or regain your flexibility or perhaps you have higher goals of returning to sport or taking up a new adventure activity. Your Exercise Physiologist will be with you every step of the way.
