Why should I do Exercises Pre-Surgery?

Why not learn correct postural movement patterns prior to surgery to assist your recovery?
Here are 3 simple exercises selected from the Bounce Back Foundation Program which are perfect for you in the pre-surgery stage.
Shoulder Squeeze
The shoulder squeeze is a small movement to train shoulder blade engagement
Bicep Curls
