Get a head start before surgery
You cannot control when your date comes through. You can control what shape you are in when it does.
Prehabilitation, or prehab, is rehab you do before an operation rather than after it. The stronger and fitter you go in, the better placed your body is to recover, and the sooner you get back to the things you actually care about. Whether that is a knee replacement, an ACL repair, a shoulder reconstruction or a spinal decompression, the weeks in front of you are some of the most useful you have.
It is also one of the most well researched areas in rehabilitation. A structured plan built around your specific surgery improves your fitness beforehand and is linked to better recovery afterwards, compared with starting from scratch once you are home.
It does not replace your post-surgical rehab. It gives you a head start on it.
