Prehab Program

On average only 3 out of every 10 patients require inpatient rehabilitation after a joint replacement. Many funds now offer different avenues for rehabilitation with positive outcomes for their members, including day only rehab and rehab in the home. The majority of those who are living at home are able to return home from hospital.

Here at Sydney Adventist Hospital (the San) we want to ensure you recover to the best of your ability after your hip or knee replacement surgery. This unique San service ensures we care for you from the time you are aware of the need for your surgery till the completion of your recovery. You start your journey with a prehabilitation education session where you will learn how to prepare for your upcoming surgery. This includes how to set up your home, individualised exercises, what to expect while you are in the hospital and on discharge home. With a world class orthopaedic team, our care is tailored to optimise your recovery.
