“Every cancer journey is unique, but what if we could help patients begin their treatment stronger?
That’s the goal of prehabilitation – a proactive approach that focuses on exercise, nutrition, and stress management before surgery or chemotherapy. Rather than waiting for recovery to start after treatment, prehab helps patients build strength and resilience beforehand. The results are remarkable.
Recent studies have shown over 50% reductions in post-surgical complications, shorter hospital stays, and faster recoveries among patients who completed a four-week prehab program. I recently spoke with NBC News about how prehab is changing the way we think about cancer care by empowering patients to take an active role in their healing from day one. This conversation is part one of a two-part segment, exploring how prehabilitation is transforming cancer recovery today and how its principles could soon expand to improve outcomes across all areas of patient care.
Watch the full interview below to learn more about the growing impact of prehabilitation and how it could reshape cancer recovery.”
