Preventive Measures

Prehabilitation involves implementing tailored exercise, nutrition, and psychological interventions before cancer treatment begins. This aims to strengthen patients physically and mentally, potentially reducing the severity of treatment-related side effects.

Enhanced Resilience

By engaging in prehabilitation exercises such as strength training and cardiovascular activities, cancer patients can build up their physical resilience. This may help them better tolerate the rigors of surgery, chemotherapy, or radiation therapy.

Improved Recovery

Prehabilitation can contribute to a smoother recovery process post-treatment by mitigating muscle loss, improving cardiovascular health, and enhancing overall physical function. Patients who undergo prehabilitation may experience faster recovery times and improved quality of life.

Psychosocial Support

Prehabilitation programs often include psychological support components such as counseling or stress-reduction techniques. Addressing anxiety, depression, or other emotional concerns before treatment can help patients better cope with the challenges ahead and improve overall well-being.

Empowerment and Education

Prehabilitation empowers patients by giving them a sense of control over their health outcomes. Through education about proper nutrition, exercise routines, and coping strategies, patients can actively participate in their own care, fostering a sense of empowerment and confidence as they embark on their cancer treatment journey.
