Everyone has heard of rehabilitation. But what happens before this?
There is so much more we can do before surgery to ensure the best possible outcome after surgery. We can support the owner and patient mentally and physically. Prehab is diverse and includes not only an exercise plan to reduce muscle loss, but also other aspects of the life, like ensuring the owner knows how to prepare the home for the post op care and make sure they are ready for what they may have to go through.
As an animal lover and career or worker in the veterinary and rehabilitation industry, its important to see how we can support owners more, and in turn increase the successful outcome for the patients going through surgery
