If you’ve been advised to undergo surgery—whether for a joint replacement, ligament repair, spinal condition, or another orthopedic issue—your recovery starts before the procedure. Pre-surgical physical therapy, also known as prehabilitation, is designed to prepare your body for the demands of surgery and promote a faster, more successful recovery.
At Levan Physical Therapy, we offer customized pre-surgical programs to help you strengthen key muscle groups, reduce inflammation, increase flexibility, and improve overall fitness. The result? Shorter recovery time, fewer post-op complications, and better surgical outcomes.
