The Prehab course

What topics are covered in this course?

Full Pre-Op Strength Program

Customizable exercise programs at beginner, intermediate, and advanced levels. Includes strengthening for quads, glutes, hamstrings, and calves (key muscle groups that often weaken after surgery). All exercises come with a handout for easy access.

Arm Strengthening Program

Upper body strength is essential for independence after surgery, especially when using a walker or getting in and out of bed or chairs. This course includes a dedicated arm workout program to keep you strong and mobile.

Core Strengthening for Stability and Back Support

Includes safe, effective core exercises that improve balance, stability, and posture, helping reduce post-op back pain and making everyday movements easier.

Stretching & Range of Motion

Carefully designed stretching routines that focus on knee bending (flexion) and knee straightening (extension)—two movements critical for walking, standing, and returning to daily activities.

Endurance & Cardio Prep

Practical guidance on how to incorporate walking and biking into your pre-surgery routine to safely build stamina, circulation, and overall resilience.

Meet your
instructor

With 7 years of education, a Doctorate in Physical Therapy, and after treating 1,000+ patients I decided it was time to become an instructor.


As I was treating patients, I noticed there was a lack of information being provided to patients before, during and after surgery. Many people had little to no information given to them about what to really expect.
