Functional reserve
We assess aerobic capacity and exercise tolerance using the test suited to your risk and procedure
Program
Pre & Post Surgery Programme
Clinical preparation before planned surgery, followed by a coordinated pathway to rebuild capacity after discharge.
from €2,3805 days
€300 deposit, deducted from the total. We confirm availability before closing the stay.
The program
The protocol begins before the first consultation: the team studies the case, shares its reasoning and prepares a sequence that is then adjusted with you.
Each case is prepared before arrival. The team reviews medical history, the planned operation, medication, test results and functional capacity; it then shares its reasoning and builds one five-day plan connecting medical assessment, movement, nutrition, rest and preparation for discharge. The value is not in accumulating consultations or treatments, but in the hours of analysis, coordination and adjustment used to decide what that person needs and what should be left out. Progevita does not perform surgery or replace assessment by your surgeon or anaesthetist: with your consent, it complements their plan and avoids conflicting advice.
Is it right for you?
For people with elective surgery already planned who have time to prepare, particularly when deconditioning, frailty, low strength, anaemia, metabolic risk or limited recovery support may matter. The operation date, procedure and approval of the surgical team determine the final scope.
- You have elective surgery planned and, ideally, four or more weeks to prepare.
- You want measurable goals for strength, aerobic capacity, nutrition, anaemia or habits.
- You agree that medication or treatment changes must be coordinated with surgery and anaesthesia.
Clinical priorities
What we focus on
We do not try to optimize everything at once. We order these areas around your data and the program goal.
Strength and mobility
Body composition, grip strength and progressive work to reach surgery with more functional margin
Nutrition and anaemia
We review protein, nutritional status and iron; replacement is guided by tests and time available
Medication and safety
We record medicines and supplements and coordinate any adjustment with the prescriber and anaesthesia team
Sleep and mental preparation
We address rest, expectations, pain education and ways to approach the process without unrealistic promises
Postoperative continuity
We plan the return to mobility, strength and autonomy around discharge advice and wound recovery
Your experience
A protocol prepared and adjusted around you
Five days give us time to observe, measure and work with you. Between sessions, the team interprets what it finds and prepares the next step; the plan then continues towards surgery and adapts after discharge.
- 01
Five days in Cofrentes
We assess, work with you and adjust the protocol around your response each day.
- 02
4–6 weeks at home
Training, nutrition and weekly follow-up adapted to the surgery date.
- 03
Surgery
Your hospital performs the procedure. We share useful information without replacing surgery or anaesthesia.
- 04
After discharge
We review mobility, strength, pain and safety before progressing rehabilitation or water work.
Does this approach fit?
The next step is to choose dates and activate the medical pre-consultation.
Personalised protocol
The value lies in the work connecting each decision
A consultation does not begin when you sit down with a professional. Before and after it, the team spends time reviewing, coordinating and preparing. This is why the programme is not presented as a bundle of appointments or treatments: each element is used only when it helps build the plan that case needs.
- Case preparation before arrival: review of history, surgical reports, medication, test results and objectives before the first consultation
- Internal clinical session to share findings and order priorities across medicine, exercise, nutrition and recovery
- Design of a personal five-day protocol, with team time reserved to prepare every consultation and adjustment
- Review between sessions of results and response to decide what remains, what changes and what adds no value
- Coordination, with your consent, with surgery, anaesthesia or other professionals to avoid conflicting advice
View the clinical and practical detail
- Functional-capacity, body-composition, grip-strength and mobility assessment according to the case
- Decision-led blood tests: full blood count, ferritin and iron profile, HbA1c, albumin and kidney function when relevant
- Individualised aerobic, strength, inspiratory-muscle and nutrition plan—not a menu of separate services
- Five days to assess, practise, observe the response and prepare the plan that continues at home
- Remote follow-up over 4–6 weeks, adapted to the surgical timetable and progress
- Team preparation for each follow-up using the data, adherence and questions that emerge
- A report the surgical team can use and a roadmap for the phase after discharge
Additional options (3)
We assess them with you and only add them when they can change decisions.
Recovery stay after discharge
Duration and content are defined around the discharge report, mobility and wound status
Intravenous iron when indicated
Only for confirmed deficiency, limited time or poor response/tolerance to oral iron, with prescription and follow-up
Postoperative balneotherapy and hydrotherapy
Only after the wound has closed and the surgical team has approved immersion and water exercise
