Pre-Surgical Optimization Program
Adults 18+ JCC North Entrance, Whitefish Bay
Through our ongoing partnership with Froedtert & the Medical College of Wisconsin, we’re offering an 8-week Pre-Surgical Optimization Pilot Program. This initiative helps you prepare for elective shoulder, hip, or knee surgery by boosting strength and mobility for a smoother recovery.
Get surgery-ready with our 8-week wellness program—designed to support a stronger, smoother recovery.
What’s Included?
- Progress check-ins
- Personalized evaluation with a physical therapist
- 3 weekly sessions with personal trainers, a dietitian, and mindfulness instructor
- 2 months of complimentary JCC membership
Program Benefits
- Our program incorporates mindfulness practices to equip you with powerful coping mechanisms. Through techniques like guided meditation, deep breathing exercises, and body awareness, you’ll learn to manage pre-operative jitters, reduce pain perception, and foster a sense of calm.
- This isn’t just about “eating healthy”; it’s about strategic nutrient intake to boost your immune system, reduce inflammation, support tissue repair, and maintain stable energy levels. Addressing any deficiencies or specific dietary needs before surgery significantly minimizes complications and speeds up your post-operative recuperation.
- Our personal trainers work in conjunction with physical therapists to develop a tailored exercise regimen. This includes targeted strength training to fortify muscles that will be impacted by the procedure, flexibility exercises to improve range of motion and cardiovascular conditioning to enhance overall endurance.
- We empower you with the essential knowledge and practical self-care techniques to become an active, confident participant in your own healing journey. This is about building your capacity to manage your health both before and after surgery, and fostering a sense of control.
- Individuals who maintain good mobility and strength prior to surgery generally have an easier time with the rehabilitation process following surgery. This may include decreased pain levels, improved mobility and quicker recoveries.
