Pre-Surgery Education

Paul Harvie Orthopaedics adopts a multi-disciplinary approach to your care so that your surgical journey is as smooth and safe as possible.

You will be seen by your surgeon, anaesthetist, occasionally a perioperative physician, occupational therapists and nurses.

Paul Harvie Orthopaedics is delighted to inform patients that after discussions with the Back in Motion Health Group the  Back in Motion Hobart on Murray  team has developed a pre-surgical educational program for all patients undergoing joint replacement surgery.

This is exclusive to patients at the Paul Harvie Orthopaedics and is available by appointment.

They will discuss your upcoming surgery, explain how to use gait aids safely, how to best perform exercises, and optimise your rehabilitation, how to use Cryotherapy etc. Essentially giving you complete oversight of what to expect so you as a patient are informed and can engage proactively with your recovery.

It is hoped that this approach will enhance your recovery leading to a shorter inpatient stay and faster recovery.
