Prehabilitation
If you are planning on having a hip or knee replacement the evidence shows:
-
Hip and knee replacement surgery patients who performed water and land based strength, aerobic and flexibility exercises for 6 weeks prior to their surgeries reduced their odds of needing in-patient rehabilitation by 73%.
-
Strengthening prior to surgery results in better outcomes post surgery and a shorter rehabilitation time.
We see clients in their own homes, retirement village and aged care facilities.
We teach evidenced based individualised balance and strength exercises to help rehabilitate clients from injury, illness/surgery or general decline to decrease the risk of falling and maximize mobility.
We aim to keep you living independently for as long as possible.
Evidence for rehabilitation post total hip or knee replacement has demonstrated:
Early mobilisation is the gold standard for achieving functional mobility after joint replacement
It is possible to improve outcomes related to physical activity by implementing exercises programs carried out at home
After surgery there may be a period where you are unable to drive. This can result in a delayed start to your rehabilitation.
We provide treatment and rehabilitation to people in their own homes to enable people to have the earliest possible start on their rehabilitation.
We provide education, exercise programs and manual therapy to our clients, enabling them to maximize their strength, mobility and return to everyday activities.
