Prehabilitation is a multidisciplinary strengthening program that helps to improve a patient’s strength before surgery and recovery time post-operative. The program includes evaluation, education, nutrition, exercise and stress management. Our clinic has expanded prehab to a multi-modal holistic approach to treat the muscle mass loss, which is common in sedentary and ill patients. Studies have shown the best time for these interventions are in the preoperative period before surgery.
