Pre/Post Surgical Patients

Transform Your Pre-Operative Journey with Miss-Lou Physical Therapy Physical Therapy

At Miss-Lou Physical Therapy, we specialize in providing comprehensive preoperative physical therapy services, addressing common conditions, and helping patients achieve optimal health outcomes. Our evidence-based approach to “pre-hab” prepares your body for surgery, potentially reducing recovery time and enhancing your overall well-being.

“Pre-hab” is a proactive approach to rehabilitation that focuses on strengthening, conditioning, and optimizing patients’ physical capabilities before surgery. This method has proven to be effective in preparing individuals for the most common types of surgeries, such as joint replacements, rotator cuff repairs, ACL reconstructions, and spinal surgeries. By participating in pre-hab, patients can experience reduced pain, improved functional mobility, and a faster return to daily activities.

Among the most common conditions that benefit from pre-hab are osteoarthritis, sports-related injuries, and musculoskeletal disorders. In some cases, physical therapy can even prevent the need for surgery by addressing underlying issues and providing targeted interventions to improve function and stability.

According to recent studies, incorporating pre-hab into a patient’s treatment plan can sometimes eliminate the need for surgery and if surgery is needed, decrease the need for postoperative care. Prevention programs are instrumental in reducing the risk of injury, minimizing the need for surgery, and enhancing patients’ quality of life.

Our physical therapists play a pivotal role in pre-operative by designing personalized treatment plans, addressing individual needs, and closely monitoring progress. Our team is highly skilled at identifying and addressing any limitations, restrictions, or other issues affecting your situation and empowering you to take control of your health journey.

Embark on the path to a successful surgery and swift recovery with Miss-Lou Physical Therapy and experience the difference our personalized pre-hab program can make in your life.
