Prehab and Postsurgical Rehabilitation

At RecoveryZone Orthopedic, Spine and Sports Medicine in Wall, New Jersey we strongly believe that physical therapy is not only for our post-surgery patients. Prehabilitation Therapy is extremely beneficial for those preparing for surgery. Just as rehabilitation helps patients recover following surgery, prehabilitation helps our patients prepare for surgery and frequently leads to shorter recovery time.According to the National Institutes of Health, participating in Prehabilitation therapy will not only enhance your postoperative results but also minimize recovery time. Studies have shown that beginning Prehabilitation physical therapy a month or so before surgery can significantly shorten recovery time. By working with our physical therapist and creating an individualized Prehabilitation plan, you will create a strong foundation for rapid recovery that will likely lead to decreased down time following surgery.
