If you are awaiting surgery, most surgeon’s advise you see a physiotherapist prior. This is to get your body into the most ideal condition to speed up recovery post-op.
Pre-operative assessments help you to learn exercises that you will perform after surgery, optimise strength and range of motion and discuss your needs post-op including post-op physio and equipment.
