1. getting to know and learning about:

• respective stages of treatment, 
• exercises that prepare the area for the surgery,
• methods of protection and rest for tissues after a surgery, eg. walking with crutches, positioning the limb at night, using orthoses and stabilizers,
• exercises done in the early stage after the surgery,
• the rules of using cold. 

2.  physical preparation of the area:

• reducing the inflammatory state (swelling and pain),
• regaining achievable range of motion,
• regaining achievable strength and muscle control through properly chosen exercises,
• improvement of the static and dynamic function of the treated limb.
