Exercise
The App Can Help
Having surgery can put your body under a significant amount of stress, and often leaves you feeling weak and tired.
The app can help you get much stronger by providing you several exercises to do, by displaying diagrams and images along with easy step-by-step instructions to get you into the mood to be fit and healthy before surgery. An example can be shown above
The nurse will assess your baseline fitness and input the results into the app. The exercise programme you will follow has been designed to suit your individual needs and will set you acheivable targets.
After each set of exercises, the app will ask you to complete a scale about how out of breath you are. This can help us to adjust your activities so you are working at a comfortable level.
