Pre-surgery
Before you undergo this surgery, you will have a consultation with members of our physiotherapy team, where we will discuss what to expect from the surgery in terms of improved mobility. You will also be measured for crutches to aid your post-operative recovery at this stage, and you’ll receive a personalised exercise and movement plan.
Admittance
When you’re admitted, you will find that we encourage early mobility after the surgery – often even beginning on the same day. You will be seen regularly by the physiotherapy team throughout your stay, and before you are discharged you’ll be taught how manage stairs at home (if required), and how to perform the exercises in your personal rehabilitation programme.
What happens at the pre- operative class?
It is an educational class where the physiotherapist will explain what happens during the joint replacement surgery and what to expect following surgery. They will measure you for an appropriate walking aid for use following your surgery. They will also explain the exercises that you will need to complete following your operation.
What do I wear?
Comfortable clothing.
Can I bring someone with me to the class?
You are welcome to bring someone with you to attend the class.
