Pre & Post Operative Care

Targeted physiotherapy to prepare for surgery and to support a smooth recovery afterwards.

Physiotherapy treatment is extremely valuable both before and after surgery, particularly for orthopaedic procedures such as joint replacements, but also for spinal, neurological and cardiorespiratory operations. At Bondi Platinum Physio, we help to prepare your body for surgery - often referred to as prehabilitation - which helps optimise strength, mobility and overall function, which can lead to smoother surgery and a faster, more effective recovery.

Recovery after surgery typically involves two stages. The first is what your body does naturally - wound healing, scar tissue formation and cellular repair. The second is rehabilitation, which does not happen by itself. Without expert guidance from a physio, strength, movement quality and joint control may not be fully restored.

After surgery, the body can lose strength and control quickly, especially with periods of reduced activity or bed rest. This is why we recommend that rehabilitation begin early, often from day one in hospital for procedures like hip and knee replacements. 

With the right guidance and a structured, exercise-based approach, you can recover more efficiently and return not just to your previous level, but often a stronger and more resilient version of yourself.
