Prehabilitation, or prehab, is a proactive approach focusing on enhancing strength, flexibility, and overall function before surgery or intense physical activities. It aims to prevent injuries and optimise recovery outcomes by preparing the body in advance. At Godiva Physiotherapy, this service is tailored to your specific needs, whether you’re an athlete or preparing for surgery.
Prehabilitation is beneficial for athletes looking to boost performance and individuals preparing for orthopedic surgery. It’s also valuable for anyone wanting to prevent injuries or improve physical resilience during activities.
Each prehabilitation program is personalised based on your activity level, medical history, training stage, and goals. For example, the clinic considers whether you’re in pre-season or mid-season, as well as your fitness level and injury history, to create a realistic plan that fits your schedule.
Sessions may include strength and flexibility exercises, movement assessments, manual therapy, and education on injury prevention strategies. The clinic also uses advanced diagnostic and treatment technologies to ensure the most effective care.
