Dorthey was able to AVOID double knee replacement surgeries all together!!

Meet Barry

When Barry came to see me, he was unable to be mobile without support.  He could only get around by the use of a walker.

Below are a series of 3 videos showing Barry's progress after he sought treatment from Future Fitness Personal Training and our programs.

You’ve scheduled your surgery, now what?

If you want to improve the odds of a successful outcome, get in shape before your surgery. " According to  the arthris foundation

what is pre-hab?

Fifty percent (50%) of outcome success is due to the surgeon, and the other 50% is due to the patient’s commitment to recovery – starting with pre-hab,” says orthopedic surgeon Vonda Wright, MD, chief of Northside Hospital Sports Medicine in Atlanta.

Rehabilitation is an exercise and therapy program performed for up to three months after surgery, and most joint-replacement patients know to expect it. Pre-habilitation – “pre-hab” for short – is an exercise therapy program started at least six weeks (and preferably longer) before surgery.

why is pre-hab needed before any surgery?

Major surgery can induce functional decline and pain, which can also have negative implications on health care utilization and quality of life.

Pre-habilitation is the process of optimizing physical functionality pre-operatively to enable the individual to maintain a normal level of function during and after surgery.

Pre-habilitation training can be a combination of aerobic exercises, strength training, and functional task training to suit individual needs.

how Effective is Pre-hab

Studies show that knee and hip replacement surgery patients who had participated in water- and land-based strength training, aerobic and flexibility exercises for six weeks prior to surgery reduced their odds of needing inpatient rehabilitation by up to 73%.

Pre-hab stabilizes your pain levels before surgery and gets you back on your feet faster after surgery. 

When will i notice the benefits of pre-hab?

The rewards of pre-hab show within 24 hours after surgery. After knee-replacement surgery, for example, you will be expected to be walking (using crutches or a walker) to the bathroom or in the hallway the day after.

You generally must be able to go up and down two to four steps and walk 50 to 100 feet before leaving the hospital (usually in one to four days).

Many people now have out-patient joint replacement surgery and need to be able to get in and out of the car and into bed at home the same day.

The improved strength that you gain from pre-hab can help you achieve these milestones.  

“Patients can do recommended exercises at home faster, with fewer follow-up on an as-needed basis, whereas those who haven’t had pre-hab need more hands-on sessions,” according to physical therapist Steve Sylvester, PhD, assistant professor of health and human performance at Palm Beach Atlantic University in West Palm Beach, Florida.

Is it worth the money?

Patients who are more fit prior to surgery may have shorter hospital stays and fewer outpatient rehab sessions, which in turn saves you THOUSANDS of dollars in preventable medical expenses and equipment.

Ask about Consumer Financing during your initial assessment!

What types of surgeries need pre-hab?

Any type of surgery would benefit from Pre-hab, from cosmetic surgeries to knee replacement.  No matter what kind of procedure you are having, If your procedure requires you to go under anesthesia and stitches,  then you would benefit from our pre-hab program!

what is postoperative re-hab?

While the surgery is performed within hours, the rehabilitation needs many months, potentially up to a year. The difference between the length of the surgery and the time needed for rehabilitation is huge, and patients should have that clearly in mind.

When the patient undergoes cartilage surgery of the knee, ankle or shoulder, for example, by whatever method, they should be aware that they need a long recovery period.

Why is postoperative re-hab important?

It is extremely important that the patient is committed to the whole procedure process including post-operative re-hab. However, it should also be borne in mind the timeframe of one year for recovery is an example of the amount of time required compared to the hours of the surgery. The actual timeframe required depends on a large number of factors.

The second important point is that rehabilitation is a progressive activity. In this context, ‘progression’ means safely increasing workloads and stimuli on the repaired joint during the recovery process.

The third point is that the tissues need to be stimulated, as they cannot recover by themselves.

It is important to properly stimulate the limb and joint after cartilage surgery for example. This is, biologically, a very complex process, because we need to let the tissue mature.

The process could be likened to baking bread. You have to wait for the dough to prove (rise) before you can put it in the oven. It is the same with the cartilage – you must wait for some time to help the biological process, and that process needs stimulation.

The right stimulation is protected range of motion and exercise.

Can't I just join a gym instead and exercise on my own?

The core of rehabilitation is doing the right exercises at the right time, with the right balance between not enough and too much exercise.

So, neither complete rest nor sporting activities is advisable in this phase of rehabilitation. Something in the middle is required.

That balance changes during the weeks and months after surgery. What this means in practice is that the intensity of the stimulation increases progressively.
