Pre-Surgical Rehabilitation

Make Your Surgery A Success With Physical Therapy!

Preparing for surgery doesn’t have to be overwhelming. At Stride Physical Therapy, we offer personalized pre-surgical physical therapy—also known as “pre-hab”—designed to strengthen your body, boost mobility, and enhance surgical outcomes. Our skilled physical therapists take an evidence-based approach to care. By focusing on your specific needs before surgery, we can help minimize complications, speed up recovery, and promote long-term wellness. Take charge of your healing journey before it even begins with pre-hab at Stride PT.

  • The Importance Of Pre-Surgical Physical Therapy

    Research consistently supports the positive impact of pre-surgical physical therapy, also known as “pre-hab,” on improving surgical outcomes. Studies show that patients who engage in pre-hab experience a 29% reduction in postoperative care costs and a 25% reduction in the need for skilled nursing facility care compared to those who do not participate in pre-surgical therapy.
    Orthopedic conditions that benefit most from pre-hab include:

    • Rotator Cuff Tears: Strengthening the shoulder and surrounding muscles before surgery helps improve recovery time and leads to a smoother rehabilitation process after surgery.
    • Anterior Cruciate Ligament (ACL) Injuries: Pre-hab enhances knee stability, range of motion, and strength, laying the foundation for a successful surgical outcome and speeding up recovery.
    • Total Hip and Knee Replacements: Pre-habilitation is essential for building muscle strength, flexibility, and balance, ensuring a quicker and more efficient return to daily activities after surgery.

    At Stride PT, our experienced physical therapists use an evidence-based approach to address these orthopedic issues before surgery. By focusing on increasing muscle strength, flexibility, range of motion, and balance, we prepare your body for surgery, ensuring a more efficient and effective recovery.

  • Improving Surgical Outcomes With Physical Therapy

    Physical therapy plays a vital role in preparing both your body and mind for surgery. By incorporating a personalized pre-surgical physical therapy plan from Stride PT you can reduce pain, enhance mobility, and experience a faster recovery after surgery. Our approach focuses on strengthening your body, improving flexibility, and ensuring your overall well-being, setting the stage for a successful surgical outcome.

    • Total Hip and Knee Replacement Surgery:Osteoarthritis is a degenerative joint condition that can lead to significant pain and stiffness, often necessitating joint replacement surgery. A physical therapist will work with you to alleviate pain, enhance mobility, and strengthen the surrounding muscles.
    • Spinal Conditions:Conditions such as herniated discs, spinal stenosis, and spondylolisthesis can result in chronic pain and impaired mobility, sometimes requiring surgical intervention. Physical therapists devise customized exercise programs to address muscle imbalances, improve core strength, and increase flexibility.
    • Rotator Cuff Injuries:Rotator cuff injuries can severely limit shoulder function, often necessitating surgical repair. Physical therapists work to reduce pain, restore range of motion, and strengthen the muscles surrounding the shoulder joint.
    • Anterior Cruciate Ligament (ACL) Injuries:ACL injuries can significantly impact the knee’s stability, requiring surgical reconstruction in severe cases. Pre-surgical physical therapy reduces inflammation, improves flexibility, and enhances muscle strength.
