WHAT DOES PREHABILITATION INVOLVE?

STEP 1

Once patients have seen their surgeon – and the surgery has been explained – they meet with a team physician who introduces the Peri-Operative Program.

STEP 2

An appointment session is then set with a clinical coordinator who explains the various steps of the program and records anthropometric measurements (body weight, height, percentage of lean body mass and body fat).

STEP 3

Visits are then scheduled with a physiotherapist/kinesiologist, a nutritionist and a psychologist who respectively assess body strength and flexibility, nutritional status and mood.

STEP 4

A home-based program is then proposed, which spans 4-5 weeks before your surgery and up to 8 weeks after surgery. The program may or may not include in-hospital exercise sessions.
