Healing in Advance

Your Prehabilitation Handbook

Beschreibung

Take charge of your health and change your outlook. Life is stressful. With busy schedules and daily burdens, it's easy to find relief in unhealthy comforts. If you live with a major medical condition, achieving optimal health is an even greater challenge. But it's your health. Be proactive and take back control with prehabilitation. In Healing in Advance, Dr. Alexander Watson discusses how prehabilitation helps improve baseline health, detailing its tangible benefits in surgical outcomes, preoperative health, and quality of life. This straightforward explanation breaks down prehab's core components using friendly, conversational language. From spine surgery to cancer treatments, each chapter details terms you should know, the likely course of your treatment, and low-risk interventions to discuss with your medical team. We each have unique medical journeys.
