Just finished the 12 Week Achilles Rehab Program. I am a few years off a left Achilles full rupture and started this program a few after I had torn my right gastrocnemius muscle. I was committed and diligent about following through to continue to enjoy the activities I love. I noticed immediate results with pain free running and improved strength in both legs. I had one question in the programming and received a quick response.
All I all it was an awesome purchase, easy to use app and I’m faster now than before my most recent injury!

Unfortounately I was in a little too…
Unfortounately I was in a little too much pain to work with the program but Prehab Guys were great at communicating with me and offered a full refund as advertised (within 30 days). Great customer service and I will be back once I'm able.

PFPS Program Changed My Life for the Better
I was struggling with knee pain on both of my knees but primarily my left for the past (3) years. My knee pain was attributed to both poor form during exercising, and weakness in my quads, hips, and glutes. Throughout the 3 years of knee pain, I went to (2) different orthopedics, I was diagnosed with PFPS both times and given a referral for physical therapy. I did physical therapy for a total of 3 months at the first place. That physical therapy office did not help with my knee pain at all. At the second place, I was desperate, and did 3 months of physical therapy and my insurance would no longer pay. I began paying out of pocket for physical therapy 3x a week for an additional 2 months, STILL struggling with knee pain. No help whatsoever. With all this frustration I googled online PT programs and I found a guy that has a knee program, his name is Martin Koban I bought a program, did his exercises and felt a tremendous amount of pain only a few weeks into his program. I gave up on that. After spending thousands of dollars I between doctors appointments, physical therapy appointments out of pocket, co-pays etc. If I’m being honest the money wasn’t hurting nearly as much as my knees. Not having a healthy body killed me more than anything. I was at the point where I would of probably spent my whole life savings just to feel better. I finally stumbled across The [P]rehab Guys on Instagram and visited their website and saw that they offered a PFPS program at a very low cost. I watched their Instagram content and saw that they have many different exercises specifically for PFPS that I have never done in the 6+ months of Physical therapy I’ve done. I figured I’ll give it a try. It’s a 16 week program broken up into (4) different phases. First of all, the App interface is amazing and encourages you to exercise and stick with the program. You log each workout you do on the date that you do it you do so that you can keep track of where you are in the program. Each exercise has a short clip, up to 2 minutes long of one of the Prehab physical therapists showing you exactly how to do the exercise with the correct form, the muscle you should be feeling working, common mistakes that are made with form with that particular exercise and how to prevent those common mistakes. Additionally, there is a written description under each video indicating of all of the above. Even if you have no experience exercising, you can definitely do this program with the way the videos guide you. If that isn’t enough, there is a discussion board that you can access within the app to ask any questions that you may have throughout the program and those questions get answered PROMPTLY by the same physical therapists who created the program. I am writing this review 16 weeks later, program completed, and I am so happy. My knees feel 100% better, I feel so much stronger, and I feel healthy! I thought this was a life long injury that I had and I would never recover. I can’t thank the [P]rehab Guys enough. I’m starting the [P]rehab Fitness - Home Edition next. The exercises and app encourage me to exercise. Thank you guys SO much for saving me time, money, and most importantly, making me feel BETTER!

Phase 3 flared my back
Hi, phase 1 and 2 were great saw the reults and was happy. As soon as I began phase 3 the second day all crumbled down with severe back pain could barley walk. Now I am starting phase 1 again . Thinking of reaching phase 2 and stopping at that point. Thanks
Response from The Prehab GuysSep 26, 2021
Hi RB. Sorry to hear about the flare up. very rare that during rehab, you flare up. It's unfortunately the small risk we run as we progress the exercises. Curious how things have been the last month, did you get back to your baseline fairly rapidly?

I can't recommend these guys enough
I can't recommend these guys enough. Their communication with you is terrific and the videos of each exercise really explain how to do each exercise and there are alternative exercises if they are too hard. I was diagnosed with a partial tear in my ACL and torn meniscus back in Novemer 2020. I was gutted but wanted to try and go into surgery in the best shape possible. Using their exercise program for 2-3 months and my own weights program not only did I go into my knee reco surgery in great shape I came out with just an arthroscope. My ACL had knitted back together better than what the surgeon could do with a hamstring graft. I proved the surgeon wrong as he said at my age the likelyhood of my ACL knitting back together was very unlikely. I will continue using the program to keep strengthening my knees so I give myself the best possible opportunity to stay active and not do an ACL again. Thanks guys.

3rd degree ankle sprain
Former collegiate swimmer. Got a 3rd degree ankle sprain while hiking, 5 months later I resprained playing tennis, this time a 2nd degree ankle sprain...then I found the Prehab Guys. It took a while to finish my ankle rehab but after following all of their advice I'm back to swimming, hiking, and tennis. Feels fantastic to be able to move again. Program is easy to follow, the workouts change enough so it's not boring. Any question I had was answered quickly and I learned about the habits that probably led to my first sprain in the first place. Look no further, get this program.
The set reps on the app are mostly set up to only do one side of the body. For instance a 30 second side plank showed 3 sets I had to do. But really I had to do 6 because it was 3 on each side. It was easy for me to just add 3 sets but if I was being nit-picky, that's the only thing I'd change.
Hopefully I'm not injured to this extent ever again but if I am I feel good that there's a program waiting for me.
Side note: all the exercises on the foam pad were the most fun.

Prehab programs ARE THE BEST!
Prehab programs ARE THE BEST!
I may be addicted but as someone concerned with maintaining mobility and staying healthy and fit in my 50's.. I have participated in the Hip prehab, shoulder prehab and the thoracic spine program. I have noticed a significant difference in my mobility and workout performance.
