Prehabilitation in Colchester, Essex
Prehabilitation is an intervention before surgery aimed at reducing the negative effects surgery may have on your body during the recovery process. These effects are usually short-term and typically relate to healing and tissue recovery following the surgical procedure you’re preparing for.
Our Prehabilitation in Colchester is designed to help optimise your health before surgery, meaning faster recovery and improving your overall post-operative outcomes.
Expert physiotherapists will assess your needs and create a personalised plan for Prehabilitation in Colchester to maximise your strength and resilience before surgery.
What’s Involved in Prehabilitation?
Comprehensive Assessment: A full evaluation of your current physical health, mobility and any risk factors that could affect your surgical recovery.
Personalised Exercise Plan: A tailored program focused on building strength, flexibility and cardiovascular fitness to prepare your body for surgery.
Education and Support: Guidance on breathing techniques, nutrition and lifestyle adjustments to enhance recovery and reduce post-surgical complications.

What are the Benefits of Prehabilitation?
Once you've received a diagnosis or have a surgery date scheduled, your Prehabilitation journey begins. This is a crucial phase where you'll take proactive steps to strengthen your body and mind before treatment. During this time, you'll follow a regular exercise routine and adopt healthy lifestyle changes, supported by tailored nutritional guidance and emotional well-being support.
Our Prehabilitation in Colchester program is designed to deliver immediate benefits, including enhanced physical function and improved cardiorespiratory fitness. Think of it like training for a marathon, just as an athlete prepares for race day, you're preparing your body for surgery or treatment.
By the time you complete your Prehabilitation, you'll be ready, whether you're facing chemotherapy, radiotherapy or surgery.

"I’ve been going to physio with Craig for about two years due to an ACL tear. I had physio before and after surgery in order to correct it. Craig is an excellent physio and I would highly recommend him"

"I can't recommend Craig highly enough! I had been struggling with a persistent hip issue for a long time and had seen a couple of other professionals without much success. From the first session, he was kind, friendly, and very knowledgeable"
