prehab
Before-operation fitness prep
Prehab is preventive physical therapy or exercise done before surgery or injury to improve recovery outcomes.
The term combines "pre" with "rehabilitation," inverting the usual sequence: Six weeks of prehab strengthened her knee before the ACL surgery.
Athletes and older patients increasingly use prehab programs to build strength and flexibility in anticipation of medical procedures.
