Episode 29

How You Can Prepare For Surgery with Pelvic Physical Therapy

If you are planning to have surgery in the future, this episode is for you!

We’ve all heard of rehab to recover after surgery or injury. But many people haven’t heard of ‘prehab’ - ways to prepare your body for surgery in advance.

When you plan for a big trip or vacation, you do several things to prepare. Get time off work, book tickets, get a pet sitter, plan your agenda, prepare for things you’ll need while you’re away, etc.

Preparing for a successful surgery involves similar forethought and planning!

A visit to a pelvic physical therapist before your surgery can prime you for the process and help equip you with the knowledge for as smooth a recovery as possible.

In this solo episode Amanda gives valuable advice about:

  • What prehab is and why it’s important

  • What types of surgery would benefit from a visit to a pelvic PT beforehand

  • Why it’s good to see a pelvic PT before surgery

  • How to advocate for yourself in the hospital and what to ask for before you’re discharged

  • Other ways to support your body before surgery
