Navigating Knee, Shoulder or Hip Surgery Prep with Your Personal Trainer at The Athleticus

Navigating Knee, Shoulder or Hip Surgery Prep with Your Personal Trainer at The Athleticus

Entering the realm of surgery preparation can be a mix of emotions – a blend of uncertainty, a touch of nerves, and a sprinkle of determination. But it’s easier and less scary when you plan ahead and train with an experienced personal trainer, like The Athleticus team, prior to your procedure. We’ve worked with dozens of clients, some of whom you know, to help them prepare for joint surgery and replacement, as well as recovery and getting back to strength afterwards. The right coach is not just there to enhance your physical fitness; they are your support system, your emotional anchor, and the key to building confidence before the big surgery.

Tailored Muscle Boosting for Your Joints:

Your personal trainer, a seasoned professional, understands that one-size-fits-all isn’t effective. They have a plan crafted exclusively for you, concentrating on strengthening the muscles around your joint and strengthening limbs. It’s a strategic training regimen, ensuring your body feels robust and prepared for surgery day.

Flexibility Focus with Targeted Stretching:

Dealing with stiffness? No problem. We know all about targeted stretching exercises. We’ve got you covered with routines designed to improve joint flexibility. This is a collaborative effort, where your feedback plays a crucial role in making the stretching routine uniquely suited to your needs.

Teamwork for Tackling Weight Goals:

As trainers, we aren’t just about exercises; we’re your partner in the mission of managing your weight. Together, you’re formulating a plan that involves both exercise and nutritional choices. It’s a collaborative effort, adding a layer of accountability and support to your weight management journey. After surgery, you can expect to be a lot more sedentary and to be somewhat restricted in movement. So, we can help you plan your nutrition to both facilitate healing and to maintain a healthy weight while you take it easy for a few weeks. 

And if you want to train with a friend or your significant other for additional support, we can help too! We specialize in couples personal trainers programs and can create a tailored plan that focuses on both your needs prior to surgery as well as your partner, who can help support you while accomplishing their own goals. That’s a win-win!

Cardio Focus for Your Heart and Well-being:

Beyond the workout routines, we know you and as your trainers, we recognize the importance of internal well-being. That’s where cardio exercises come in. It’s not just about heart health; it’s your escape, an opportunity to shake off stress, and your trainer is there with encouragement and guidance.

Endurance Building Tailored to You:

As surgery day approaches, the focus shifts to building endurance. Your personal trainer is the architect of this plan. They know how to challenge you while ensuring it remains manageable. It’s about creating a tailored endurance plan, step by step, leading to a triumphant post-surgery recovery.

Acknowledging Every Achievement:

Your personal trainer is your biggest supporter. Every achievement, no matter how small, is recognized and celebrated. It’s a positive reinforcement strategy, not just about fitness, but about feeling confident and prepared to face surgery with resilience.

Conclusion:

In conclusion, having an experienced personal trainer goes beyond exercises and routines. It’s like having a fitness partner, a mentor, and a supportive guide through the complexities of knee surgery preparation. With their expertise, your journey transforms into a series of achievements, preparing you not just physically but also mentally and emotionally for the challenges ahead. Ready for the journey?

Others think it’s just another diet trend that will disappear like low-fat everything did in the 90s.

So, is intermittent fasting actually good for you? Is it healthy? Does it help with strength and longevity? Or is it just another fad?
