Pre-operative education is an essential component of your prehabilitation and has been shown to positively influence post-operative pain, anxiety and recovery.  It provides an opportunity for you to discuss your concerns with our highly trained staff, receive education about the surgery, your hospital stay and recovery process, and receive emotional support. It ‘puts all of your ducks in a row’ and after all, forewarned is forearmed! When the unknown becomes more familiar, it’s not so scary and you can relax throughout the process.

Our team will work with you to establish what’s important to you and what your goals are. We can help you prepare for your surgical journey in a safer and more confident way.

Our physiotherapists are very experienced with the recovery process of your surgery and can provide a lot of this education.  If you have additional/complex concerns or need more intensive support, talking with a psychologist is highly recommended and we can assist you with this process.
