'Prehab' Physiotherapist Programs

A personalised online and telehealth 'prehab' physiotherapy program that specifically targets the muscles most relevant to your specific pain and mobility problems.

The physiotherapist programs can be combined with weight management options if clinically appropriate.

The programs are suited to individuals who have significant knee or hip osteoarthritis or joint pain requiring surgery.

Each program also includes the in-home Stand Up To Joint Pain - Strength, Mobility and Pain Management kit (view details).

The intensity of the physiotherapy support (1, 3, 4 or 5 telephone or video appointments) is linked to your needs based on your pain and functional difficulties as identified via the Stand Up To Joint Pain Assessment.
