Pre & Post-Operative Care
Surgery is often just the first step toward recovery — what follows is equally important. Physiotherapy before and after surgery plays a vital role in ensuring better results, faster healing, and long-term mobility. At BMR Physiotherapy & Health Care, we provide comprehensive pre and post-operative rehabilitation programs designed to prepare your body for surgery and restore it afterward.
What is Pre & Post-Operative Physiotherapy?
-
Pre-Operative Care: Focuses on strengthening the body, improving flexibility, and preparing you physically and mentally before surgery. This helps reduce complications and ensures a smoother recovery.
-
Post-Operative Care: Focuses on pain relief, restoring mobility, preventing stiffness, and rebuilding strength after surgery. It is essential for regaining independence and avoiding long-term complications.
