Pre & post surgery
It is important that anyone waiting for
surgery e.g. the knee, should exercise the quadriceps, hamstrings,
calves, gluteal muscles frequently - preventing unnecessary weakening of
muscles & enabling rehabilitation periods to be reduced.
After surgery - it is important to mobilise, strengthen & stretch
muscles, tendons, joints to expedite recovery.
