Preparing for surgery is a bit like training for a marathon - the better shape you're in, both physically and mentally, the smoother your recovery can be.
PreActiv acts like your personal trainer. It provides exercise sessions individualised to your health and fitness alongside advice and guidance in the lead-up to surgery, and information about your surgery to help you 'train' for your upcoming operation.
Using PreActiv makes the best use of your waiting time, helping to ensure you're as fit and healthy as possible before surgery.

What can I expect? from my PreActiv Programme?
Your web-based PreActiv programme helps you prepare for your surgery and feel more confident beforehand.
PreActiv creates an exercise plan for you that is individualised to your health, fitness, and surgery date.
Individualised exercise sessions & advice designed to be safe and manageable, even if you’re not used to exercising.
Your exercise sessions will last around 30 minutes and can be completed anywhere, at any time.
You’ll also find information about what to expect before and after surgery, so you feel supported and informed throughout your surgical journey.
We recommend you complete sessions one to three times a week, at home, using a computer, laptop, tablet or smartphone, whenever suits you best.
After surgery, you will transition to a 6-week tailored rehabilitation programme where you will complete daily shorter rehab sessions to help with your recovery.
