If you're scheduled in for a total hip replacement, total knee replacement, or partial knee replacement, our Prehabilitation Programme is designed to support you from preparation through to recovery.
As part of your treatment, you'll automatically be invited to a pre-operative information workshop led by our Physiotherapy Team, which gives you all the essential information you need.
In addition to this, you can enrol in our Prehabilitation Programme for further support.
Please note that you can sign up for the Prehabilitation Programme before you've had your pre-operative information workshop. We recommend enrolling as soon as you know when your surgery is, to make sure you can complete all of your sessions in time.
What’s involved in the Prehabilitation Programme?
- Education and exercise to help you prepare for surgery
- Four weekly sessions
- Every Thursday at 11am.

- Maximise your strength and function before your procedure
