Powerful Preparation for a Successful Surgery
Similar to rehabilitation (or rehab) to regain strength and movement after surgery, MendBetter offers prehabilitation (or prehab) to ready the body and mind before a procedure. Our program makes surgical readiness easy, engaging, and accessible to everyone.
Comprehensive Wellness
Nutrition + Fitness + Mindset
The program is designed by a team of prehab experts, including physicians, nutritionists, athletic trainers, and therapists. Activities and lessons are led by motivating coaches, with a curriculum customized for each user.
NUTRITION
Building up presurgical nutrient stores is critical for fueling the body during recovery. There are interactive lessons, such as why protein consumption is so important and which vitamins are best for healing. Recipes and supplement recommendations guide optimal nutritional intake.
FITNESS
Physical fitness is essential for optimal recovery after a procedure, as well as tolerating the surgery itself and anesthesia. The core of MendBetter’s exercise regimen is a video series led by expert trainers, with modifiers for varying capabilities. Encouraging messages and progress meters keep users on track.
MINDSET
Mindset exercises like meditation and positive affirmations help users overcome the anxiety and uncertainty associated with surgery. This preparation has been shown to reduce the perception of pain and improve quality of life during recovery.
