Preparation for Surgery and Recovery
Are you preparing for surgery? Undergoing surgery can cause feelings of worry or anxiety for many people. Studies have shown that using mind-body techniques, such as guided imagery and affirmations, can help you better prepare for surgery, experience less discomfort after surgery and recover more quickly.
Hill Physicians has designed a pre-surgery podcast series to help you feel more comfortable and calm going into your surgery and to help you heal faster.
Listen to the introductory podcast Preparing for Surgery: The Mind-Body Connection and Healing to learn how the mind-body connection works and to assist you in preparing for surgery by creating a relaxed state in your mind and body. Then continue on with the second podcast, Healing from Surgery: Guided Imagery and Affirmations for Surgery and Recovery, and listen one or more times a day on each of the days leading up to surgery and after surgery, until you feel you have completed your recovery.
