Pre and Post-Surgical Rehabilitation
Surgery can be a big step toward improving your health, but the journey doesn’t end in the operating room. Preparing your body before surgery and supporting your recovery afterwards can make a huge difference in outcomes, comfort, and confidence. At Alara Women’s Health, we provide personalised, holistic care to help women feel strong, supported, and ready for every stage of their surgical journey.
Why Rehabilitation Matters
- Before Surgery (Prehab): Building strength, mobility, and confidence before surgery helps prepare your body and can shorten recovery time. It also provides education on what to expect and how to care for yourself post-operatively.
- After Surgery (Rehab): Recovery doesn’t just mean healing scars — it means restoring strength, flexibility, and function, while addressing pain, swelling, or scar tissue that may limit movement.
Common surgeries we support include:
- Gynaecological surgery (e.g., hysterectomy, prolapse repair, endometriosis excision)
- Breast surgery (e.g., mastectomy, reconstruction, lumpectomy)
- Orthopaedic surgery (e.g., hip, knee, or shoulder replacement)
- Abdominal surgery (e.g., C-section, appendectomy, bowel surgery)
