Preoperative physiotherapy
Preoperative rehabilitation is carried out according to indications in order to better prepare patients for the upcoming surgical procedure. The goal of preoperative rehabilitation is to reduce the risk of complications, increase the patient's physical fitness, and ensure a faster and more effective recovery after surgery.
The first step
Examination by a physiatrist and other specialists
The second step
Ultrasound (US) of segments of the locomotor system
The third step
BIODEX isokinetic testing
The fourth step
Individualized therapy program
Preoperative rehabilitation is recommended for all patients who are about to undergo complex surgical procedures, especially those involving the locomotor system. Through thorough preparation, we strive to improve the general health of patients and prepare them for surgery, which includes increasing muscle strength, improving mobility, and educating them about postoperative recovery.

BOOK AN APPOINTMENTPreoperative rehabilitation has multiple benefits, including reducing the risk of postoperative complications and shortening recovery time. Preparing the body for surgery increases the strength and endurance of the muscles, which enables easier handling of the procedure and a faster return to functionality after surgery.
Examination by a physiatrist and other specialists
The first step involves a detailed examination by a physiatrist and, if necessary, other specialists. This examination allows for an assessment of the general health condition and the identification of any risks that could affect the outcome of the surgery.
Ultrasound (US) of segments of the locomotor system
The second step involves ultrasound diagnostics of the segments of the locomotor system in order to analyze in detail the structures that will be affected by the surgical procedure. This examination allows for a precise assessment of the condition of the joints, tendons, and muscles.
BIODEX isokinetic testing
The third step involves isokinetic testing using the BIODEX system, which allows for precise analysis of muscle strength and endurance. Based on the results of these tests, we create a customized exercise plan aimed at increasing muscle strength and stability.
Individualized therapy program
Based on the findings, we create an individualized therapy program that is tailored to the specific needs of each patient. The program includes targeted exercises, manual techniques, and patient education about the procedures that follow the surgery, which reduces fear and increases readiness for recovery.
An individualized approach to each patient ensures optimal preparation for surgery. Our team of experts works with patients to ensure that each step of the preparation is tailored to their specific needs and goals. This ensures that each patient enters surgery in the best possible physical and mental shape.
Patient education is an important part of preoperative rehabilitation. We educate patients about what to expect before, during, and after surgery, in order to reduce stress levels and increase cooperation during postoperative recovery. An informed patient is a confident patient, and this has a positive impact on rehabilitation outcomes.
Support throughout the process is key to successful preoperative rehabilitation. Our physiotherapists and specialist physicians are available to answer all patient questions and provide ongoing support throughout the preparation process, ensuring that patients feel safe and supported at all times.
