How to prepare your body for hysterectomy: the PT prehab guide for active women

Nobody prepares you for hysterectomy. Your surgeon is focused on the surgery — and that's exactly their job. But there's an 8-week window before you go under that most active women completely waste. This video changes that. In this video, a pelvic floor physical therapist and women's strength coach walks you through exactly how to prepare your body before hysterectomy — from the one skill that changes everything about your recovery, to the three questions you need to ask your surgeon before surgery day. This isn't generic advice. This is what active women — runners, lifters, hikers — actually need to know to set themselves up for a faster, stronger return to everything they love. What we cover: → Why prehab matters and how to use the window before surgery → How to find, contract, and release your pelvic floor (not just squeeze it) → Diaphragmatic breathing — start this now, not after surgery → The three questions to ask your surgeon that most women don't think to ask → What to do about hormones if your ovaries are being removed → What to keep doing in your workouts — and what to add in PRIOR PRE-SURGERY VIDEO:    • How can I prepare for a hysterectomy?   FREE RESOURCE Check out the free Active Woman's Hysterectomy Readiness Guide — five checklists from prehab to return to running and lifting.
