Successful surgery doesn’t start in the operating room—it starts weeks before, with physical and emotional preparation. Research shows that patients who prepare mentally and physically recover faster and with fewer complications. Uli’s method supports the body on all levels before surgery.
Preparation involves activating circulation, loosening fascial tension, and improving tissue elasticity. Gentle touch and manual therapy make connective tissues more flexible and responsive, creating ideal conditions for healing.
Emotional readiness is equally vital. Many people feel fear—of anesthesia, pain, or loss of control. These emotions increase muscle tone and reduce immunity. Uli’s pre-op sessions help release this stress through calming touch, breathwork, and conversation.
The scar-to-be is also introduced to the body’s awareness. Sensory training and light contact in the area where surgery will occur prepare the nervous system to integrate the future scar rather than reject it.
Practical topics are also addressed: current medications, allergies, blood sugar, or iron levels. Smoking cessation and nutrition are also discussed to reduce surgical risk.
Patients often report feeling more grounded and less anxious after this preparation. Their bodies are informed, not surprised—and that difference supports recovery.
Uli’s method sees preparation as empowerment. It’s an invitation to reconnect with your body, take ownership of healing, and build trust in the recovery process.
