Preparation and follow-up
The Curalie app can help you prepare for your surgery. For example, you can consult the app for a list of what to pack for the hospital and another list of handy everyday aids. The questionnaires on the Curalie app help with documenting how you are doing during treatment, so your doctor or therapist can improve the treatment plan. We also offer helpful information and exercises for after your surgery.
Strength training
We know physical activity is a challenge for you right now. That’s why our therapists have developed a gentle training program aligned to your current needs. This will help you prepare your body optimally for the surgery and the recovery phase afterward. Our therapists provide guidance for each exercise in the video.
