Whilst often neglected, a well-structured pre-surgical or “prehabilitation” program is essential to help minimise post-operative complications, reduce hospital admission times, and accelerate post-operative recovery.

Additionally, early and individualised post-surgical rehabilitation is crucial to ensure your pain is well managed and factors such as range of movement, strength, and mobility are restored and optimised as soon as possible. This minimises the risk of developing post-operative complications such as chest infections and blood clots, and enables you to achieve your desired level of function, returning to the activities you enjoy and supporting the people you love.

At Next Steps Therapy, we work with our clients closely to make sure they go into surgery well prepared, and are supported and empowered throughout their rehabilitation journey to achieve their goals.
