Nutrition as part of your treatment.
Did you know that studies show up to 78% of patients go into surgery with insufficient protein intake? Yet protein is the single most important building block for wound healing and maintaining muscle strength. PrehabM helps you change that – simply, practically, and without sacrificing taste.1 2
Nutrition made easy: Forget complicated calorie counting. With our intuitive hand-portion method, you track your meals quickly and effortlessly.
Your daily protein boost: We show you how to put together meals that are high in protein, genuinely enjoyable, and perfectly suited to your needs – building maximum reserves before your procedure.
Always well nourished: Smart reminders help you incorporate your medical nutritional supplements into your daily routine – regularly and without added stress.
Stay on track: Monitor your weight to catch any unwanted loss early and take action before it becomes a problem.
In step with your care team: Share your progress with your treatment team in just one tap (e.g. with your doctor, psychologist or nutritionist) – for the highest possible level of safety and tailored support.

The mind is your most powerful muscle.
More than 92% of patients experience moderate to significant anxiety before surgery.3 That is completely understandable – and it can be addressed. PrehabM offers guided mental training sessions that help you reduce anxiety, sleep more soundly, and face your operation with greater inner calm and confidence.2
Strong in body, calm in mind: Our prehabilitation programme strengthens not only your body, but also your mental wellbeing.
We support you holistically on your path to a better quality of life:
Actively reducing anxiety: Through targeted mental training, we help you transform pre-operative worry and restlessness into genuine confidence.
Your body, your journey: We give you a deep understanding of what supports your wellbeing right now – building the knowledge you need to actively contribute to your own recovery.
Healthier, one step at a time: Whether it is improving sleep, moving more throughout the day, or guidance on reducing alcohol and tobacco – our tailored exercises adapt to your lifestyle and build lasting resilience.
Did you know? 77% of all patients fear waking up during surgery. Anxiety about an upcoming procedure is completely normal – and that is exactly why we make sure you do not have to face it alone.3 4
Why sleep matters so much before your surgery.
Sleep is an active healing process: while you rest, your body repairs tissue, releases growth hormones, and fortifies the immune system. During prehabilitation – your targeted preparation for surgery – getting enough sleep is every bit as important as exercise and nutrition.
Sleep is what makes your training work: Strength and endurance are not built during exercise – they are built during rest. Without sufficient sleep, you simply cannot get the full benefit from your training. Aim for 7–9 hours of sleep per night and treat it as a non-negotiable part of your preparation.
Sleep protects you and makes you stronger: Well-rested patients have stronger immune systems, experience fewer complications, and recover more quickly. Sleep also regulates stress hormones, helping you experience the lead-up to surgery with greater calm and confidence. PrehabM provides practical, evidence-based sleep tips that you can access at any time.5 6 7
PrehabM has some useful sleep tips for you, which you can access whenever you need them.
