"Some of my sickest patients are stuck in a cruel catch 22. They're too sick for surgery, yet their bad hip(s) or knee(s) stops them from exercising. On top of that, many need to lose weight, but because of diabetes, they eat around the clock or else their insulin makes their blood sugar go too low.

Dr. Watson lays out a roadmap that is easy to remember and even easier to follow. Everyone has their own unique journey, which means no single plan can work for all of my patients. Conveniently, this book includes several ways to attack each of the dozens of potential roadblocks and detours along anyone's prehab journey.

​​I've noticed that the patients who do best after surgery are the ones who, despite hectic jobs and busy families, find a little time every day to prioritize their health. After following a prehabilitation plan, they often go into surgery feeling even better than they had felt at their initial surgical consultation. This book helps focus that preparation, maximizing benefits with the least required time and no wasted effort. Following Dr. Watson's strategy, I've even had patients dance- literally dance- into their first post-op follow-up. This is the potential of a well structured prehab program.”
