Ready to Recover: The Essential Guide to Pre and Post Surgical Rehab

Facing surgery can be a daunting experience, but proper rehabilitation before and after your procedure makes a significant difference in your recovery. At CURE Physical Therapy in Dearborn, MI, we are dedicated to helping you achieve the best possible outcomes with our specialized pre and post surgical rehab programs. Whether you are preparing for orthopedic surgery, joint replacement, or another procedure, understanding the importance of rehabilitation is the first step on your road to recovery.


Why Pre Surgical Rehab Matters


Pre surgical rehabilitation, often called prehab, is a proactive approach to prepare your body for the physical demands of surgery. Participating in a prehab program helps to maximize your strength, flexibility, and overall health, allowing you to approach your surgery in optimal condition. At CURE Physical Therapy, our experienced therapists design personalized pre surgical rehab programs tailored to your specific procedure and health needs.


Key Benefits of Pre Surgical Rehab:

- Enhanced strength and endurance for faster post-surgery recovery

- Improved flexibility and joint mobility

- Reduced risk of complications during and after surgery

- Increased confidence about the surgical process

- Education on post-operative expectations and exercises


What to Expect from Post Surgical Rehab


Post surgical rehabilitation is essential for restoring function, reducing pain, and regaining independence after your procedure. Our team at CURE Physical Therapy works closely with you and your surgeon to develop a customized rehab plan that supports your full recovery. We offer specialized treatments that focus on gentle yet effective techniques to help you progress safely.


Features of Our Post Surgical Rehab:

- Individualized exercise programs to rebuild strength and mobility
