East Tennessee Spine & Sport is your go-to provider of
Pre-Surgical Care in Knoxville, TN.
Pre-surgical care is essential for optimizing outcomes before any surgical procedure. Engaging in a structured pre-surgical program can help enhance physical readiness, reduce anxiety, and improve overall recovery. At East Tennessee Spine & Sport, our team focuses on preparing the body through targeted exercises and education, ensuring patients are in the best possible condition for surgery.
Without proper preparation, patients may face increased risks of complications and longer recovery times. Our pre-surgical care aims to strengthen the body, improve mobility, and address any specific concerns related to the upcoming procedure.
Effective pre-surgical care involves identifying and strengthening the specific muscle groups that will be affected by surgery. If these areas are not adequately prepared, the body may rely on compensatory movements, leading to potential complications post-surgery.
Our physical therapists utilize specialized techniques to isolate and strengthen the targeted musculature, ensuring that patients are not only ready for surgery but also equipped to handle the demands of recovery. This proactive approach helps mitigate the risk of post-operative pain and dysfunction.
At East Tennessee Spine & Sport, we employ evidence-based practices to create individualized pre-surgical care plans. Our therapists utilize a combination of therapeutic exercises, manual therapy, and education tailored to each patient's specific needs and surgical procedures.
By focusing on the unique demands of the surgery and the patient's physical condition, we help ensure that patients are physically and mentally prepared for their surgical journey. Our goal is to facilitate a smoother recovery process and improve long-term outcomes.
