Prehabilitation is a process that prepares patients mentally and physically for surgery. It aims to improve outcomes by addressing lifestyle habits, physical activity levels, and existing health conditions before an operation. Joe Wicks has launched two exercise videos on YouTube to support elderly patients in getting fit for surgery. These tutorials focus on increasing physical activity, which can help speed up recovery after planned operations. Experts recommend starting prehabilitation as soon as surgery is considered. This includes improving nutrition, setting up home environments for recovery, and addressing mental health concerns through discussions with family and friends.
