Rehab & Prehab Exercises: 55 Exercises for Injury Prevention

Rehabilitation and prehabilitation exercises protect your joints, address muscle imbalances, and speed recovery from injuries. These aren't just for people recovering from surgery — prehab exercises prevent injuries before they happen. Our library includes rotator cuff strengthening for shoulder health, VMO exercises for knee stability, and hip mobility drills for lower back protection. We cover exercises recommended by physical therapists for common issues like shoulder impingement, knee pain, and lower back tightness. Whether you're recovering from an injury or want to bulletproof your body against future problems, these exercises are essential. Beginners should incorporate basic prehab movements, while those with specific issues can focus on targeted rehab protocols. MySetPlan can include prehab work in your warm-ups to keep you training pain-free long-term.
