What’s MyPrehabTM?

Surgery and critical illness are some of the most physically demanding events your body will ever face. Whether you’re preparing for a planned operation or recovering from a recent procedure, the better your baseline health, the faster and safer your recovery. MyPrehab™ at AthleticsMD® is a comprehensive, all-inclusive prehabilitation program that strengthens you from the inside out before the stress of surgery — or major life events — ever occur.



Our approach addresses every critical factor: hypertension, diabetes, obesity, medication optimization, physical activity, nutrition, and social support. This is not just “pre-op clearance.” This is a structured, physician-led, evidence-based program designed to reduce complications, shorten hospital stays, and improve long-term outcomes.

Evidence-Based Benefits of Prehabilitation

Research consistently shows that prehabilitation works:

  • Ljungqvist et al., 2017 (JAMA Surgery) – Multimodal prehabilitation reduced post-op complications and hospital length of stay.
  • Topp et al., 2009 (Physical Therapy) – Strength training before surgery improved mobility and function post-op.
  • Carli et al., 2020 (Anesthesiology Clinics) – Comprehensive prehabilitation programs improved cardiorespiratory fitness, reduced infection risk, and enhanced recovery after major abdominal surgery.
  • Minnella et al., 2018 (British Journal of Surgery) – Nutrition and exercise-focused prehabilitation improved functional recovery and quality of life after colorectal surgery.



These findings match what we see daily: patients who prepare recover faster, feel better, and avoid preventable complications.

Why MyPrehab™ Is the Most Affordable Comprehensive Prehab Program in the Nation

Most hospital-based prehabilitation programs— which often provide just basic physical therapy and nutrition — cost $2,000 to $5,000 for 4–6 weeks. Comparable private multidisciplinary programs with physician oversight typically cost $1,200–$2,500 for just 4 weeks and rarely include on-site labs, advanced cardiac/pulmonary training, or medication optimization (MUHC Libraries, 2020, Sportscare Armworks).


By contrast, MyPrehab™ delivers a more advanced, physician-led, all-inclusive program — with ICU-grade rapid labs, comprehensive medical management, personalized exercise and nutrition, and therapeutic recovery treatments — for just $1,450 for the first 4 weeks. That’s hundreds to thousands less than other programs of equal or lesser scope.



A University of Michigan study even found that prehabilitation can reduce total surgical episode costs by an average of $3,200 per patient through fewer complications and shorter recovery times (RehabPub).

FAQ

  • Do I need surgery to enroll?

    No. MyPrehab™ is also ideal for people who want to improve their health proactively before illness strikes.

  • How soon before surgery should I start?

    Ideally 4–8 weeks before surgery, but even 2 weeks can improve outcomes.

  • Will this replace my surgeon’s clearance?

    No. This is above and beyond surgical clearance — it’s about optimizing your entire body system for the best recovery possible.

  • I have multiple health issues. Can I still join?

    Absolutely. In fact, patients with hypertension, diabetes, obesity, or on multiple medications benefit most.

  • What if I can’t exercise much because of my condition?

    We create safe, modified programs that improve strength and endurance without overexertion.

  • Is the program covered by insurance?

    MyPrehab™ may be reimbursable by insurance if filed. We can provide the documentation and CPT coding needed for submission.
