The course begins with foundational definitions of prehabilitation and the physiological impacts of surgery. You will then progress to practical, written guides on designing safe exercise routines, managing energy levels, and planning for a smoother transition into postoperative recovery. This course is designed for beginners, fitness enthusiasts, and individuals preparing for surgery who want to take an active role in their health journey, with no prior medical or athletic experience required.
