Pre & Post Surgery Rehabilitation

Rehabilitation Before and After Surgery in Christchurch

Prepare your body for surgery and improve your recovery with tailored physiotherapy programmes designed to speed up healing and restore function.

Surgery is often only one step in your recovery. How you prepare before and rehabilitate afterwards makes a significant difference to your long-term outcome. At Vigeo Physio, we provide pre- and post-surgical rehabilitation to help you recover faster, improve mobility, and regain confidence in your body.

Before surgery
Pre-surgery physiotherapy (“prehab”) improves mobility and prepares you physically and mentally for the procedure. Going into surgery in the best possible condition means faster recovery and reduced complications.

After surgery
Post-surgical rehabilitation focuses on restoring flexibility,and function. We design a programme that matches your surgery type and recovery stage, with a gradual progression that keeps you safe and moving forward.

Our approach combines:

  • Personalised exercise programmes to rebuild mobility
  • Hands-on therapy to reduce stiffness and restore movement
  • Postural therapy to improve alignment and prevent strain on healing areas
  • Education and guidance to keep you motivated and confident through recovery

We commonly support clients after joint replacements, spinal surgery, knee and shoulder operations, and sports-related surgeries. Whatever your procedure, our goal is to get you back to doing what you love — safely and effectively.
