Transform Your Pre-Operative Journey with Physiotherapy
At Strive Fitness and Therapy, we specialize in providing comprehensive preoperative physiotherapy services, addressing common conditions, and helping patients achieve optimal health outcomes. Our evidence-based approach to “pre-hab” prepares your body for surgery, potentially reducing recovery time and enhancing your overall well-being.
“Pre-hab” is a proactive approach to rehabilitation that focuses on strengthening, conditioning, and optimizing patients’ physical capabilities before surgery. This method has proven to be effective in preparing individuals for the most common types of surgeries, such as joint replacements, rotator cuff repairs, ACL reconstructions, and spinal surgeries. By participating in pre-hab, patients can experience reduced pain, improved functional mobility, and a faster return to daily activities.
Among the most common conditions that benefit from pre-hab are osteoarthritis, sports-related injuries, and musculoskeletal disorders. In some cases, physiotherapy can even prevent the need for surgery by addressing underlying issues and providing targeted interventions to improve function and stability.
According to recent studies, incorporating pre-hab into a patient’s treatment plan can sometimes eliminate the need for surgery and if surgery is needed, decrease the need for postoperative care. Prevention programs are instrumental in reducing the risk of injury, minimizing the need for surgery, and enhancing patients’ quality of life.
Our physiotherapists play a pivotal role in pre-operative by designing personalized treatment plans, addressing individual needs, and closely monitoring progress. Our team is highly skilled at identifying and addressing any limitations, restrictions, or other issues affecting your situation and empowering you to take control of your health journey.
Embark on the path to a successful surgery and swift recovery with Strive Fitness and Therapy and experience the difference our personalized pre-hab program can make in your life.

Common Pre-Surgical Conditions Treated in Physiotherapy
At Strive Fitness and Therapy, we understand the challenges individuals who require surgery due to pre-operative conditions face. Our team of dedicated physiotherapists work closely with patients to alleviate their discomfort and improve their overall well-being, paving the way for a successful surgery and swift recovery.
Our comprehensive approach to pre-operative physiotherapy not only addresses the common symptoms experienced by our patients but also empowers them to regain control of their lives. The most common pre-operative conditions treated in physiotherapy include:
- Osteoarthritis: Caused by the natural wear and tear of cartilage, this degenerative joint disease leads to pain, stiffness, and reduced mobility.
- Rotator Cuff Tears: Often resulting from repetitive motion or acute injury, these tears in the shoulder muscles can cause pain, weakness, and reduced range of motion.
- Meniscus Tears: Damage to the knee cartilage, frequently caused by sports injuries or aging, can result in pain, swelling, and limited mobility.
- Lumbar Spinal Stenosis: This condition, typically caused by age-related degeneration, results in the narrowing of the spinal canal and can cause pain, numbness, and weakness in the lower back and legs.
Patients with these conditions often experience limitations and difficulty performing daily activities. At Strive Fitness and Therapy, our physiotherapists utilize evidence-based techniques to address the unique challenges posed by each pre-operative condition. We are dedicated to helping you prepare for surgery and achieve optimal outcomes.
