Don’t wait for rehab: Unlock the power of Prehab

We are all familiar with rehabilitation – the process of getting back to some normality after an injury or surgery. But what if you could actually prepare your body for treatment and make your recovery easier? That is where the magic of prehab comes in.


What is Prehab?

Prehabilitation, or “prehab,” is all about getting your body ready for surgery. It is a proactive way to take care of yourself, making sure you are in the best possible shape ahead of time. This means you can recover faster and feel better after any medical procedure.

How does Prehab work?

Before surgery: It prepares you for what’s to come, making recovery quicker and smoother

  • Reducing the risk of getting injuries

  • Fewer problems after surgery

  • Shorter hospital stays and faster recovery time

When should I see a biokineticist for prehab?
