Our team of Australian trained surgeons will work will formulate a comprehensive plan to ensure a successful treatment outcome to get you back to living life to the fullest.
The way you prepare your shoulder and body in the lead up to surgery is crucial.
You can optimise your recovery by participating in prehabilitation.
Prehabilitation is a proactive approach to avoiding pain and further injury. You can build strength and stability around your shoulder, while improving mobility, balance and joint function.
Prehabilitation aims to increase the rate of recovery after shoulder surgery.
Since you are already injured, the exercises your physiotherapist provides will not be too strenuous on the shoulder joint. This is because it can lead to more damage being inflicted on the affected shoulder.
To ensure your prehabilitation is safe and effective, it should be performed under your physiotherapist’s supervision. Effective physiotherapy led pre-habilitation is patient-centred, prevention-focused, safe and based on the best evidence available. Your physiotherapist will provide you with exercises and education for your individual presentation.
Our shoulder prehabilitation protocol is a general guideline.
Contact your Melbourne Arm Clinic surgeon or physiotherapist about which exercises will best help you meet your rehabilitation goals.
