Indications
Pre-operative therapy helps strengthen and make the muscles and joints more flexible in order to better prepare the body for surgery. It focuses on improving the range of motion and reducing tension in the area to be operated on. As a result, the patient can return to fitness faster after the procedure.
Post-operative therapy supports the process of tissue regeneration by improving blood supply and stimulating wound healing. Regular sessions help prevent the formation of scars and contractures. It is a key element of returning to full mobility.
One of the goals of post-operative therapy is to minimise the risk of complications such as swelling, blood clots or adhesions. Through appropriate manual techniques and exercises, the therapy improves blood and lymph circulation and supports the proper functioning of the tissues. As a result, the patient feels more comfortable during recovery.
Pre- and post-operative therapy focuses on restoring the full range of motion and rebuilding muscle strength. It is particularly important in the case of orthopedic operations such as joint replacement or ligament reconstruction. It effectively supports the rehabilitation process and shortens the time to return to activity.
Preparing the body for surgery - the importance of pre-operative therapy
Pre-operative therapy plays a key role in preparing the patient for the surgical procedure. It includes measures aimed at strengthening the muscles, improving the range of motion in the joints and optimising blood circulation. As a result, the body is better prepared to undergo the operation, which reduces the risk of complications and shortens recovery time.
Post-operative rehabilitation - the road to fitness
Post-operative therapy focuses on the regeneration and restoration of the body’s function after the procedure. It uses manual techniques, physical exercises and physiotherapy that help reduce swelling, improve mobility and restore muscle strength. It is an indispensable element of the healing process, allowing the patient to return to full fitness.
Benefits of comprehensive care before and after surgery
A comprehensive approach covering both pre- and post-operative therapy brings numerous benefits. It allows not only the reduction of pain and faster tissue healing, but also the improvement of the patient’s overall quality of life. Thanks to well-planned rehabilitation, many complications can be avoided and the return to daily activities accelerated.
Frequently asked questions
What is pre-operative therapy and why do it?
It is preparation of the body for the procedure: improving mobility, strengthening the muscles, learning breathing and anti-thrombotic exercises. A prepared patient returns to fitness faster after surgery.
When to start therapy before surgery?
Optimally 2-6 weeks before the procedure - 1-2 sessions a week with home exercises are enough. Even short prehabilitation brings measurable benefits.
What does post-operative therapy involve?
It includes early mobilisation, anti-swelling work (lymphatic drainage, kinesiotaping), scar mobilisation, and the rebuilding of range of motion and strength - in stages, in accordance with the surgeon’s recommendations.
When can rehabilitation begin after surgery?
The first elements - breathing exercises, anti-thrombotic exercises, gentle mobilisation - often as early as the first days. We increase the intensity as healing progresses, always in consultation with the doctor.
Does post-operative therapy also apply to aesthetic procedures?
Yes - after plastic-surgery procedures (e.g. tummy tuck, liposuction) lymphatic drainage and scar work reduce swelling and speed up the return to form. At Luna Clinic it is a natural complement to care.
How does lymphatic drainage work after surgery?
Gentle, rhythmic techniques accelerate the outflow of lymph, reducing swelling, the feeling of heaviness and the risk of fibrosis. Used regularly, it significantly improves the comfort of recovery.
When and how is a post-operative scar worked on?
After full wound healing, usually 3-4 weeks after the procedure: mobilisations, fascial techniques and guidance for self-therapy. Working on the scar prevents adhesions and improves its appearance.
Does post-operative therapy hurt?
It should not - we match the techniques to the healing stage and pain threshold. The goal is to support regeneration; we increase the intensity gradually, without forcing the tissues.
How long does post-operative rehabilitation last?
Depending on the procedure: from a few weeks (minor procedures) to several months (orthopedic operations). We plan the programme individually, with clear stages and goals.
Is the therapy coordinated with the surgeon?
Yes - we work according to the surgeon’s recommendations and the healing stages; at Luna Clinic the physiotherapist cooperates directly with the patient’s treating physician.
What to bring to the first therapeutic visit?
The procedure documentation, medical recommendations and comfortable clothing. The therapist will assess the condition of the tissues and draw up a plan with home exercises.
How much does pre- and post-operative therapy cost in Wrocław?
The price depends on the type of session (therapy, lymphatic drainage) and the length of the programme. You will find current prices in the Luna Clinic price list; rehabilitation packages are available.
Contraindications
How does the procedure go?
The therapy is conducted by an experienced physiotherapist cooperating with the clinic’s surgical team.
Recovery and recommendations
After the session you may feel a pleasant relaxation or temporary “soreness” of the worked tissues - this is natural and passes within 48 hours. The therapist will give you simple exercises and recommendations for home.
Effects - when and for how long?
Effect: often after the very first session; consolidation requires a series. Durability: depends on the problem and the regularity of therapy.

What does pre- and post-operative therapy involve?
Pre- and post-operative therapy is a procedure in the field of manual therapy. At Luna Clinic, every treatment plan is created individually - we start with a thorough consultation and qualification, during which the doctor discusses expectations, assesses the starting situation and selects the scope and technique of the procedure. Thanks to this, pre- and post-operative therapy is safe, predictable and tailored to the anatomy and real needs of the specific person. We focus on a natural rather than artificial effect - so that the result emphasises individual beauty and remains in harmony with the rest of the figure or facial features. You will find a full, detailed description of the method in the upper part of this page.
pre- and post-operative therapy - who is it for? Indications and qualification
The best way to answer whether pre- and post-operative therapy is advisable in your case is during a consultation. The doctor always decides on qualification after an examination - we take into account the state of health, expectations and the real possibilities of the given method. If the procedure is not needed or safe at the moment, we will say so directly and suggest a sensible alternative. Such an honest conversation is the basis of a good decision and satisfaction with the result - which is why we never persuade anyone into unnecessary procedures.
How does the procedure go?
The course is planned to take maximum care of your comfort and safety. We work in comfortable conditions that meet all standards, and an experienced team oversees the process. All recommendations - preparation, contraindications and post-procedure conduct - are discussed individually and also provided in writing, so that pre- and post-operative therapy proceeds calmly, predictably and without surprises.
Effects and durability - pre- and post-operative therapy before and after
The effects that pre- and post-operative therapy provides are always assessed individually. A natural, harmonious refreshment of appearance or an improvement of proportions is the goal we strive for with every patient. “Before and after” transformations are best viewed in our results gallery - they show the real outcomes of our work. Remember that the durability and quality of the effect are also influenced by lifestyle, care and consistent adherence to post-procedure recommendations.
Recovery and post-procedure recommendations
Recovery goes most smoothly when you follow the recommendations closely. After the procedure you remain under the clinic’s care - in the first days, contact with a doctor is available, and we schedule follow-up visits until full healing and assessment of the effect. You receive clear instructions on care, activity and any supporting products in writing, so you know exactly what to expect at each stage of returning to form.
Safety, experience and trust
Safety is an absolute priority for us. Pre- and post-operative therapy is performed by Ilona Zalewska - a certified manual therapist and cosmetologist, with care for safety and an individual approach to the patient. Careful qualification, work in appropriate conditions and the team’s experience allow us to minimise risk and achieve repeatable, aesthetic results. In the field of manual therapy, not only technique matters, but also aesthetic sense and trust between patient and doctor - and that is exactly what we build Luna Clinic on every day.
Why Luna Clinic?
Luna Clinic is an intimate, boutique clinic where not only the result matters, but also comfort, discretion and a sense of safety. We carry out pre- and post-operative therapy with attention to every detail - from the first conversation, through the procedure itself, to post-procedure care. Patients choose us for the experience of our specialists, the individual approach and the natural, harmonious results. It matters to us that every person feels heard and well informed, which is why we present the real possibilities and limitations of the given method and choose the best solution together.
How to prepare for the procedure?
Good preparation translates directly into the course and the effect. Before pre- and post-operative therapy we conduct a qualification consultation, order tests if necessary and discuss the recommendations in detail - including which agents, stimulants or activities to avoid in the days preceding the procedure. You receive all the guidance clearly and in writing, and our team remains available should any additional questions arise. We always tailor the preparation plan individually, because every situation and every patient is different.
