Before and after surgery
The weeks before surgery are a chance to build strength and learn the exercises you'll need afterward.
Pre-operative rehab, sometimes called prehab, focuses on strength, mobility and confidence before your procedure. Learning how to use crutches, get out of bed safely and do your first exercises ahead of time can make the early days after surgery feel more manageable. Prehab is especially common before knee and hip procedures, including surgery for advanced joint arthritis or a torn ligament after a serious knee injury.
Good to know
After surgery, your rehab follows the timelines and precautions set by your surgeon. We start with swelling control, gentle range of motion and safe walking, then progress to strength and balance work in the on-site gym. When it helps, care can include one-on-one physiotherapy, a supportive brace from our knee and ankle brace service or compression stockings for circulation after surgery. All of it happens at our Vaughan clinic for rehab and recovery.

Your first appointment is our chance to understand what’s going on, how it’s affecting you and the best next steps.
Please arrive a little early if you have paperwork to complete.
We start with a conversation about your symptoms, health history, lifestyle and goals, then a physical evaluation of how your body moves and where limits may be coming from.
Once we identify the issue, we explain what we found, answer your questions and map out a plan that fits your needs.
Pre and post-op FAQ
Can’t find your answer? Call us at 905-605-9020 or email info@recouphealth.ca.
Doing rehab before surgery can help you go into your procedure stronger, more mobile and familiar with the exercises you'll need afterward. Many surgeons encourage prehab before joint replacements and ligament repairs.
How soon you start rehab after surgery depends on your procedure and your surgeon's instructions. Some people begin gentle movement within days, while others wait until a follow-up appointment, so always check your discharge plan first.
For your first post-op appointment, bring your surgical report, any protocol or precaution sheet and a list of your medications. Wear loose clothing that lets us see and move the area that was operated on.
Post-surgery rehab at Recoup Health doesn't require a referral, although your surgeon's protocol is very helpful to bring. If you plan to claim, check whether your insurer needs a doctor's note.
Signs after surgery that need urgent medical attention include fever, increasing redness or drainage at the incision, calf pain or swelling, and sudden shortness of breath. Contact your surgeon or go to emergency right away if any of these appear.
We can help with recovery from spine surgery once your surgeon has cleared you for rehab. Treatment focuses on safe movement, core strength and returning to daily tasks. If you aren't sure you're ready, call or message our front desk.
