prehabilitation
Before-treatment fitness building
Prehabilitation is preparation for a medical procedure, especially exercises or lifestyle changes before surgery to improve recovery outcomes.
Where rehabilitation restores function after an event, prehabilitation builds strength and resilience beforehand: Six weeks of prehabilitation helped her tolerate the knee replacement better.
Often shortened to prehab.
