Pre-Surgery Recovery Training
Prepare Your Body. Improve Your Recovery.
Facing surgery can be overwhelming — but preparing your body beforehand can make a major difference in how you heal and how fast you return to doing the things you love. At PerformanceEDU INC, we offer a science-backed Pre-Surgery Recovery Training Program that focuses on three essential pillars: mobility, stability, and strength.
Why Train Before Surgery?
Research shows that patients who engage in prehabilitation — structured physical training before surgery — experience:
Faster post-op recovery
Lower risk of complications
Less pain after surgery
Shorter hospital stays
Better long-term outcomes
Whether you’re heading into joint replacement, spinal surgery, or another major procedure, pre-surgery training can give you a measurable edge.
“We knew going into it that this particular knee surgery was going to be a challenging recovery with some hard rehab work to get back to skiing at my pre-injury level. Marc had a clear plan and in the weeks before surgery set me up with strength, ready for the knife and, importantly, able to do the rehab needed to get on the road to recovery. To be sure, surgery recovery requires a lot of patience, but it certainly is faster and better when you go into it with strength, mobility and confidence in the process. Physical therapy was challenging but I hit all the milestones at or ahead of time. Much gratitude to Marc at Performance EDU for getting me back on the slopes in best shape ever in shortest time possible.”
Who Is This Program For?
Patients preparing for orthopedic, spinal, or joint surgeries
Individuals with 4–8 weeks before a scheduled procedure
Anyone looking to reduce post-surgery recovery time and improve resilience
Program Structure:
Each pre-surgery training plan includes:
Personalized assessment and goal setting
Mobility and soft tissue work
Core and joint stabilization exercises
Functional strength sessions
Coaching and accountability
Our Approach
Mobility
Mobility training helps increase the range of motion in your joints, reduce inflammation, and improve blood flow to healing tissues.
Evidence:
A study published in The Journal of Bone and Joint Surgery found that improved preoperative joint mobility contributed to better post-surgery functional outcomes in knee and hip replacements.
Stability
Stability work activates smaller stabilizing muscles that protect joints, reduce compensation patterns, and improve neuromuscular control.
Evidence:
According to Clinical Orthopaedics and Related Research, patients with better core and joint stability before orthopedic surgeries saw a significant reduction in post-op falls and injuries during rehab.
Strength
Strength training helps preserve lean muscle mass, protect against atrophy, and supports faster tissue healing after surgery.
Evidence:
A meta-analysis in Sports Medicine showed that patients who followed a structured strength program before surgery retained more muscle and returned to baseline function faster than those who did not.
