Pre-Hab Before Rehab
Whether you have surgery scheduled for your shoulder, back, hips, or knees, getting your muscles and tendons stronger beforehand is a wise move. PreHab is just like rehab only before your surgery rather than after. A good set of muscles, better blood circulation, and great core muscles will help make your recovery faster and easier. Here are some routines that you can follow for the two to eight weeks before surgery.

PreHab Exercises for Knee or Hip Surgery
If you have a knee or hip replacement scheduled, don’t wait until after the surgery to exercise in rehab. The better shape your muscles are in before you go through the operating room door, the better. Your joints might be in terrible shape, but that doesn’t mean your muscles and tendons need to be. They will be crucial to helping your body to adapt to the new joints and allow better movement faster.
