We understand that the thought of undergoing surgery can feel intimidating and overwhelming. It's completely normal to feel anxious about how the surgery will go and how long it will take to recover. One highly effective way to support your recovery is through pre-surgical physical therapy which can significantly enhance recovery, improve functional outcomes, and promote long-term health. By preparing the body before surgery and actively guiding rehabilitation afterward, patients can experience a smoother, quicker, and more successful recovery.
