Max Program: Pre- and Post-Operative Rehabilitation Program
The Max Program helps you achieve the best possible outcome after your operation. We maximize your preparedness for surgery by adjusting modifiable behaviors like smoking and inactivity, as well as optimizing your wellness.
Studies show patients who improve their health and fitness before they undergo surgery have a more successful procedure and an enhanced recovery. This may shorten your hospital stay, lower your chances of surgical complications, and speed up your recovery.
The Max Program focuses on three ways you can improve your health:
- Physical activity: Increase mobility and stamina
- Nutrition: Give your body the building blocks to heal and recover
- Mindfulness: Focus on relaxation and decreasing your anxiety and stress
Your physician and the Max team will design a custom approach that identifies your unique needs and facilitates your rapid recovery. The Max team will be in close communication with your care coordinators at Clements University Hospital to ensure that your anticipated post-operative needs are addressed and to seamlessly transition your care back into the clinic following discharge from the hospital.
Improving your surgical outcomes is as simple as changing a few daily routines. You have the power to make a difference in your post-operative recovery.
