PREHAB

Taking on a proactive approach before surgery is highly recommended. Establishing a solid foundation prior to the operation can significantly impact your overall performance/timeline of recovery.

We are here to help you build this foundation. With a complete picture of your recovery timeline in front of us, we can create a comprehensive rehabilitation plan for you pre- and post-surgery to lead to the best possible outcome.

Our therapists have experience working with an array of post-operative patients. Some examples include reconstruction/repair operations of SLAP, UCL, ACL, PCL, MPFL, Achilles, tendon ruptures and bone fractures.

Throughout your course of rehab, we will guide you through each crucial step along the way, including:
