💪 STRONGER BEFORE SURGERY = STRONGER AFTER SURGERY
If you’re waiting for a hip or knee replacement, your preparation shouldn’t start on the day of surgery.
Building strength and fitness before your operation can make a real difference to your recovery. This is often referred to as prehabilitation (prehab).
🏋️ Why get stronger before joint replacement?
✅ Improve muscle strength around the affected joint
✅ Maintain strength in the rest of your body
✅ Improve cardiovascular fitness and general conditioning
✅ Improve your ability to walk and perform everyday activities
✅ Build confidence with exercises you’ll use during rehabilitation
✅ Help you get moving sooner after surgery
✅ Give you a better physical foundation for your recovery
And importantly, you don’t need to be pain-free to exercise.
A well-designed programme can be adapted to your symptoms, your current fitness level and the type of surgery you’re preparing for.
Your surgery is just one part of the journey — the work you do beforehand matters too. 💚
At Rejuvenate Performance Health & Fitness, we can help you prepare for surgery with an individualised programme combining physiotherapy, strength training and fitness.
