OPTIMISE YOUR RECOVERY AND DECREASE YOUR RELIANCE ON PAIN MEDICATION
In sports and healthcare, the saying often goes: “Prevention is better than cure.” Prehabilitation, or “prehab”, takes this to heart. It’s about conditioning the body in anticipation of future challenges, be they athletic endeavours, surgeries, or potential health risks.
Our mission at Hardiman Performance is not only to treat existing issues but to anticipate and prepare the body for future demands, enhancing resilience and improving outcomes.
KNEE REPLACEMENT SURGERY
How Prehab Helps: By strengthening the muscles surrounding the knee prior to surgery, we can speed up post-operative recovery, improve post-surgery mobility, and reduce the risk of complications. Engaging in targeted exercises and flexibility routines can greatly benefit the surgery’s success.
ROTATOR CUFF INJURIES
How Prehab Helps: The shoulder is a complex joint with a vast range of motion. By focusing on exercises that improve rotator cuff strength and shoulder stability, we can reduce the risk of strains, tears, and other injuries, especially in athletes or individuals engaging in repetitive overhead movements.
LUMBAR SPINAL SURGERY
How Prehab Helps: Preparing the core and back muscles ahead of lumbar surgery can lead to better surgical outcomes and shorter recovery times. Prehab focuses on core strengthening, flexibility, and proper body mechanics to ensure the spine is supported pre- and post-operation.
ACL INJURIES
How Prehab Helps: Athletes, especially those in sports with frequent direction changes, are at risk for ACL injuries. Prehab targets the muscles of the thigh and lower leg to improve knee stability, potentially preventing or lessening the severity of an ACL injury.
HIP FRACTURES IN THE ELDERLY
How Prehab Helps: Hip fractures can be devastating for older adults. A focus on balance exercises, lower body strength, and mobility routines can decrease fall risks and improve overall hip joint stability, making fractures less likely.
At Hardiman Performance, our commitment is twofold: effective rehabilitation for those in need and proactive prehabilitation to ensure optimal functionality and preparedness for future demands. Whether you’re an athlete, someone anticipating surgery, or just aiming for long-term health and mobility, our team is here to guide, support, and empower you on your journey.
