What Is Pre & Post-Surgical Rehabilitation?

- Recover safely after surgery with reduced pain and complications

Frequently Asked Questions
When should I start pre-surgical rehab?
Ideally 4–6 weeks before surgery, but even a short period of preparation can be beneficial.
Do I need a referral?
Not at all, although if using Private Health Insurance you may need to speak to them first to provide us with an authorisation code.
