If you knew a hard season was coming, would you walk in tired, or trained?
A weakened body has less to spend when surgery, illness, or recovery starts drawing down its reserves. Building strength, capacity, and nutrition first is not a luxury. The data says it changes what happens after.
Surgical prehabilitation, or prehab before surgery, can help you enter treatment stronger and better prepared. For patients in Maryland, a structured surgical prehab program can focus on building strength, improving physical capacity, supporting nutrition, and preparing the body for the demands of surgery and recovery.
Shorter hospital stays, by procedure
Evidence is strongest for multimodal programs that combine exercise, nutrition, and breathing training in older, frailer, and higher-risk patients. Results vary by procedure and individual, and prehabilitation is not a guarantee of any specific outcome. Your care team will tell you honestly whether it fits your situation.
