Pre-operative Physiotherapy

Pre-operative physiotherapy (pre-op physio) involves guided exercises, education and physical preparation before surgery. The goal is to optimise strength, mobility and overall fitness to help clients recover more quickly and effectively after surgery.

Pre-op physio is important because it can reduce post-operative complications, shorten hospital stays and improve surgical outcomes. By strengthening muscles, improving joint mobility and understanding what to expect, it sets a strong foundation for a smoother, more confident recovery.

Our physiotherapists will walk you through your upcoming procedure, outline expected outcomes and provide timeframes for recovery.

Following your surgery, post-op physiotherapy is vital to ensure optimal outcomes and return to function.

Post-operative Physiotherapy

Post-operative physiotherapy plays a vital role in recovery by helping you regain strength, mobility and function after an operation. Whether you've had joint replacement, spinal surgery or a soft tissue procedure, targeted physiotherapy supports healing, reduces pain and swelling and helps prevent complications such as stiffness or muscle weakness.

The common surgeries we see for post-operative rehabilitation are:

Orthopaedic surgery (bone, ligament or muscle reconstructions).
Joint replacements.
Spinal surgery including fusions and disc replacements.
Obstetrical and gynaecological surgery.
Urological surgery.

Our purpose built gym called Mid Coast Rehabilitation is designed to meet the needs of people who require a safe and supportive environment to begin their recovery journey after surgery or injury.

Your rehabilitation post-op will be individually tailored and progressed by your physiotherapist. This is done based on the procedure you have undergone, your specialist’s protocols, your current functional capacity and your personal goals
