Orthopaedic rehabilitation

Orthopaedic rehabilitation

Orthopedic rehabilitation is a form of therapy that treats a wide variety of conditions affecting the musculoskeletal system. It includes physical therapy rehabilitation, pain management, pre- and post-surgical care, and more.

Prehabilitation

Conditioning & General Fitness

Orthopaedic rehabilitation

Prehabilitation is the process of enhancing an individual's functional capacity to enable him or her to withstand a forthcoming stressor, e.g. major surgery. The benefits are:


Helps patients feel better and/or stronger and improves functioning before treatment

  • Prepares patients for the physical challenges faced following treatment
  • Improves patient psychological outcomes
  • Decreases hospital readmissions. Reduces health care costs. 

Pregnancy

Conditioning & General Fitness

Conditioning & General Fitness

Exercising while pregnant can help you to improve your core muscles and help you prepare the muscles used while in labour. It will help to ease or prevent back pain and other aches, boost your mood and energy levels, help you sleep better, prevent excess weight gain, increase stamina and muscle strength.  Exercise during pregnancy might also reduce the risk of gestational diabetes and pregnancy-related high blood pressure, as well as lessen the symptoms of postpartum depression.  Being pregnant can place a lot of stress on your pelvic floor muscles. Your pelvic floor can become weak and stretched from as early as 12 weeks into your pregnancy. Constipation, which is common in pregnant women, can put even more strain on your pelvic floor.  It is of extreme importance to exercise these muscles.
