My experience with the Prehab guys has been via social media platforms including their YouTube channel. I realize this isn’t the most conventional therapy approach but nonetheless as I’ve followed their posts on common joint dis functions I’ve been steadfastly trying the suggested modalities and have determined my favorites and most useful for me are the banded joint distraction moves.
I am in my 50’s, fairly active, no injuries and coming from a proactive point of view. My belief is that Rehab exercises/stretches should be used as the building blocks to facilitate overall better fitness in hopes of preventing injuries.
I absolutely enjoy the way they explain the “How To” and the “Why” and look forward to seeing what they share with their next post/video .

As a physical therapist
As a physical therapist, and especially an athletic woman with persistent hamstring pain (red flag averted), I highly recommend the P-Rehab hip program. I started it in September 2021 and completed all three phases in December. I found it very stimulating to have a balanced program between flexibility, mobility and strength. With each successive week and level, I gained not only flexibility but also better muscle balance around my pelvis and hips. I really liked the opportunity to follow a progressive, multi-directional and varied program.
By the 2nd level, I started to feel the positive effect of the exercises on the intensity of my hamstring pain when running. At the end of the 16 weeks, I only have a discrete pain/discomfort in my hamstrings that appears only after more than 45 min of running. My only difficulty in completing the program regularly was finding the time to do it, 5-6x per week for each session (>45 min) during level 3. In order to maintain the gains and make further progress, I intend to continue 2-3 workouts per week starting at level 2 with 2-3 sets of 15-20 reps. A big thank you and congratulations to the P-Rehab team for their skills made available through the smartphone application.

Great way to get back into fitness post-joint replacement
I’m about midway through the [P]Rehab Fitness gym and home editions. I don’t always have access to a gym so having both side by side has been really convenient - I don’t have to miss a day just because I can’t make it to my workout facility, and it allows for a seamless transition from one to the other. Love, love, love that.
I’m younger, s/p left total hip replacement, and after years of compensation and poor movement patterns I thought rebuilding from scratch after surgery would be the best way to get back to where I was before my injury and prevent future issues (I’m not getting any younger). Once I was released back into the wild from my acute physical therapy program, I started this. I’m just staring Phase 3 and it really kicked it up a notch - I appreciate the progressive nature of the programming. Definitely doable and leads into appropriate challenges in a step-wise fashion. I also appreciate the explanation of assessments and the purpose of each phase - I really like knowing the “why” behind things.
I really like this program because it’s well-rounded and holistic (workouts centered on gratitude and acts of kindness?! awesome!). I feel like I’m able to unlearn my bad habits and relearn proper movement patterns. The alternative exercises are a nice touch for those of us who aren’t quite ready, though even if there aren’t alternatives provided, it’s easy to adjust to one’s own abilities.
The only opportunity for improvement is the app itself. I really like the imbedded videos coupled with the descriptions (covering different learner-types). Having to reset the countdown timers for each side/set/round is a bit annoying. Also, the tracking of notes and assessments is less than useful, as I can’t see my previous results during a workout. A spot to track weight used and reps for each side would be more useful as well, especially if previous weights could be visible in repeated workouts. I admit some of this may be user error, and it does not keep me from using it or recommending this to others. Just being transparent.
Overall I’m very satisfied and just purchased the hip program to use after I’m done with this one. I feel I’ve regained strength and mobility in a smart way, and I look forward to my abilities at the end of the program and beyond.

After 6 months of a meniscus issue…
After 6 months of a meniscus issue causing significant fluid in my knee which inhibited full range of motion and caused pain, I decided to invest in the meniscus program to actually fix the problem. It was a GREAT program and totally worth the investment.
Within the first couple of weeks on the fundamental phase I saw a significant decrease in fluid build up along with increased stability in the knee. Once I got into the second phase, I noticed the program addressing imbalances in both sides of my body that seemed to be the source of compensation and pain. I was happy to have several affected areas be addressed and improved by this program and definitely feel balanced and bulletproof from the waist down because of it. I would highly recommend this program, along with anything the prehab guys put out! I have had nothing but success using their programs and recommending them to others. I plan on investing in their shoulder program next and continuing to improve my body all around. Thank you for all you guys do!

Well balanced training plans with steady incremental difficulty. After a meniscus operation and struggling to recover properly, this training program has taken me from limping to cycling and running once again! Biggest props for the app: one of the best I have ever trained with!

building my bod stronger from the core out…
I'm currently in the process of building my bod stronger from the core out! I've now completed a few of the Prehab Guys routines, Thoracic spine being one of them. This course has give me the knowledge to recognize what my Thoracic Spine actually is and the movements that it's responsible for. I was able to build the strength I needed to help stabilize my core, and reduce tightness in my upper back which I had thought was normal. Cheers for the knowledge Prehab

I injured my wrist tendons
I injured my wrist tendons (carpal tunnel overload ) and I decided to not get any corticosteroid shots and heal it properly. I been following the prehab guys for a while. I have always loved their content ! High quality and easy to follow exercises. So I bought their wrist rehab program and did all the 12weeks by the book. I now have fully recovered and able to do all the movements again. I do CrossFit and I highly recommend not only the rehabilitation but all the mobility and other types of exercises. Their content and programs are extremely well designed.
Response from The Prehab GuysSep 26, 2021
Denisse, great job in completing the program! Glad to hear that you are able to perform everything without restriction. Keep up with a few movements you have learned to minimize risk of future injuries.
We'd love to use this as a testimony if it is ok with you. If so, please email an image we can use with this write up to [email protected]
