Be Ready for Your 
Surgery Day

A guided program to help you strengthen your body and mind before surgery - from the comfort of your home.

Your surgeon has recommended this program as part of your care.

What is Prehabilitation?

Prehabilitation (or “prehab”) uses the time before surgery to help you strengthen your body and mind for the demands of surgery and recovery. 

 

Studies suggest that patients who complete prehabilitation can experience fewer complications and a smoother recovery.
