Prehabilitation is presurgical intervention aimed at enhancing a patient's preoperative condition, with the goal of improving postoperative outcomes. Prehabilitation provides interdisciplinary care across 4 domains.
Prehabilitation (Prehab) is about actively preparing you for your surgery. These 4 areas are our focus:
