The prehabilitation physiotherapy service in Glasgow facilitates a proactive approach to ensuring patient are in an optimal condition to undergo surgery. Recovering from surgery is challenging for the body and addressing issues such as weakness, stiffness, asymmetry and poor balance prior to surgery will ensure the best possible outcomes and recovery journey. Prehabilitation, sometimes shortened to “prehab,” may include a structured strengthening and stretching programme, as well as focussing on joint mobility, balance, endurance and cardiovascular training.

A prehabilitation physiotherapy session in Glasgow is designed to ensure you are in a better position before undergoing surgery, working on both your fitness and overall health. Your prehabilitation session will be dependent on your needs and the type of surgery you are scheduled to undergo. You will work closely with your physiotherapist to better understand your current condition and highlight your needs and areas requiring improvement. These findings will guide your sessions.

You may benefit from focussing on strength, aerobic or functional task training, or any combination of these. You will be able to take advantage of the range of advanced physiotherapy kit within the centre to maximise the benefit of your sessions and give you optimal outcomes to ensure you are in the best position before surgery.

There are numerous reasons why you may benefit from the prehabilitation service in Glasgow. Broadly, the benefits of prehabilitation can be split into enhanced recovery, minimalised complications and improved physiological resilience. Undergoing prehabilitation can aid in ensuring that once you have had your surgery, you are in optimal condition to return to normal function faster than you would have been able to prior to your prehabilitation.

More so, prehabilitation can result in a reduction in potential complications from surgery. The goal of prehabilitation is to ensure your body is in prime condition for whatever surgery you are scheduled to have, thus ensuring you are best placed to minimise any risk of potential complications.
Building your physiological resilience is also key. Through your prehabilitation programme, you will work to build this resilience, preparing your body to be able to better manage and overcome the stress of surgery.

A prehabilitation physiotherapy session in Glasgow costs £65, with sessions lasting 45 minutes. Follow-up sessions cost £55 and last 30 minutes.
