Experts in Pre and Post SURGICAL REHABILITATION
Recovery after an injury or surgery doesn't fit a standard time frame like we were once told. Each injury and post surgical rehabilitation journey is unique and is dependent upon a variety of factors. The strength and fitness you had prior to the injury, how much strength was lost after the injury and where you want your strength and fitness to get back to are key considerations. We have the most advanced injury assessment technology as well as the skills and knowledge to treat a wide variety of injury and post surgical complaints. This is what makes us the number one choice for pre and post surgical rehabilitation in Geelong and the Surf Coast.

Pre-Operative Rehabilitation:
If you are considering surgery or you have already scheduled a date for your procedure, don't delay starting the work to maximise your strength and physical health prior to your procedure. Patients who perform pre-operative exercise programs tend to have less post-operative pain, shorter hospital stays and quicker recoveries than patients who simply waited for their procedure.
Post-Operative Rehabilitation:
Reductions in strength, movement and flexibility are normal following an injury and following surgery. Measuring the extent of these changes and then following a plan to return to full health is the only option if you want to enjoy a healthy recovery without the fear of future injury. Recovery is also about more than just regaining a base line of strength. Our therapists are experts at applying the science of Strength and Conditioning to your recovery so that you can acheive whatever outcomes you want to achieve.
We work closely with many of Geelong's top orthopaedic surgeons from the Geelong Orthopaedics Group, Epworth Hospital, St John of God hospital and the Greater Geelong region.
With the GPTC, we maintain contact with your medical specialists and surgeon to ensure that everyone is in step throughout every stage of your recovery.
