Prehabilitation (Prehab)
Pre-operative training to optimize fitness, nutrition, and function before surgery.
Prehab includes 4-6 weeks of supervised exercise, nutritional optimization, smoking cessation, and (for joint surgery) targeted PT before the operation. Evidence shows it shortens recovery and improves outcomes.
What this means for you: ask your home physician for a prehab program 4-6 weeks before surgery. It's free or low-cost and significantly improves your post-op trajectory.
