Joint School will soon be available through as a series of videos, each covering a specific topic involved in prehabilitation.
Pre-Surgery Questionnaire
Please complete the pre-surgery questionnaire before you attend for your operation. This questionnaire provides information and advice for you to know before coming in for your operation, including exercises and helpful home preparation advice.
Please bring this questionnaire with you to your in-person joint school appointment and when you come for your surgery.

Exercises prior to surgery
The therapy team have put together a simple list of exercises that can be completed while you wait for surgery. Completing exercises before surgery can help strengthen muscles and make your recovery after surgery better.
The exercises are simple and can be completed by anyone – the exercises selected are also the same ones you will start after surgery.
If you don’t normally exercise, start with a couple of repetitions of each and build up to 10.
Try to do them at set times of the day, e.g. breakfast, dinner, teatime or whenever suits you.
Wibbi is a website that allows you to track how many repetitions and times you have completed your exercises over time – so you can see your progress.
Please go to Wibbi or download the app from Apple Store or Google Play to access pre-surgery exercise.
