Gary Brecka explains prehab, preparing your body before surgery by reducing inflammation, optimizing diet, and strengthening muscles around the surgical site. Starting 3-6 months early can help you walk within an hour of joint replacement and recover faster.
Prehab is the missing biohack. I don't think that a lot of people think about getting in shape for surgery.
We try to create the best surgery, but if the base, the foundation is poor, no matter how good you are, you can't get a great result sometimes. We love to get to people many months before, let's say 3 months, even maybe 6 months if possible, to get them organized, especially with their inflammation in their body, to work on their diet.
Mm.
And then also whatever supplements they need. So by the prehab we talk about is activating the muscles around that joint and then increase blood flow and connectivity to your muscles. Our goal is to walk within an hour of the surgery. If you get up and walk on your joint replacement immediately, your confidence goes through the roof of trusting the joint.
