The Program

Matilda's pre- and post-surgery program focuses on four key pillars (or 'roots'):
- Mental Wellbeing (ease)
- Sleep (rest)
- Movement (move)
- Nutrition (feed)

These are supported with a healthy dose of connection and knowledge that together help to nurture your nervous system and optimise your surgical experience.  
‍
We provide the tools for you to optimise these pillars before and after surgery, preparing your body and mind for recovery.
"For my previous surgery, there were so many unknowns, many unanswered questions and lots of anxiety.

I hope that this program will help you relax, prepare and feel confident before and after your surgery, even if you don’t get a diagnosis. Your pain is real and the Matilda team is here to support you during this important stage of your journey

It has been a privilege to co-design this surgery optimisation program."
- Alyssa (Lived-experience Co-designer)

Pre Surgery Program

Our 4 week Pre-Surgery Program is designed to prepare you both physically and mentally for your upcoming surgical procedure. Our comprehensive program focuses on education, clinician led classes, habit tracking and community, ensuring you feel confident and supported going in to surgery.

Post Surgery Program

The Post Surgery Rehabilitation Program is designed to facilitate the recovery process after surgery.

Our goal is to ensure a smooth and swift return to daily activities while minimising pain and preventing complications. Our program supports you with guided return to movement, including progression back to an active lifestyle, ways to optimise your recovery with nutrition, and emotional support.

Benefits & Features

Pre Surgery
Post Surgery

Benefits

  • Reduced Anxiety: Understanding the surgery, knowing what to expect, knowing how to prepare holistically (physically, mentally, and emotionally), the weekly clinician-led check ins, and having the support of your peers helps to lower anxiety levels
  • Improved Surgical Outcomes: Optimising your body and mind before the surgery helps to enhance recovery and reduce complications after surgery
  • Enhanced Knowledge: Knowing about the procedure, hearing stories from people who have gone through the process, and learning from expert endometriosis clinicians ensures you feel empowered and confident in the lead up to your surgery
  • Accountability: Making the required changes can be hard and confusing, so we're here to provide a clear roadmap in the lead up to your surgery, and connect you with others also going through the same process to help you feel heard and keep you accountable

Features

  • Education modules from Gynaecologists, Anaesthesiologists, Pelvic Physiotherapists, Psychologists, Nutritionists, Pain Experts and more - decades of clinical experience packed into a 4 week pre-surgery program
  • Guided yoga and mindfulness classes tailored for the lead up to laparoscopic surgery for suspected endometriosis

Benefits

  • Fast tracked Recovery: The structured rehabilitation program helps promote a swift return to daily activities - be that returning to work, sport, or intimacy
  • Better Pain Management: Knowing more about pain, medication use, and having strategies to help relieve pain during recovery can help minimise discomfort. Similar programs in other conditions have shown a reduced reliance on stronger medications (like opiates)
  • Feeling Validated and Supported: Connecting with your peers, and joining our weekly clinician-led group calls can help ensure you're not left to brave the recovery battle on your own
