Learn how to enhance surgical outcomes by focusing on strength and health beyond just weight at our interactive event!
About this Event

This workshop challenges the conventional focus on weight loss for individuals who are overweight or obese prior to surgery, highlighting the limitations of traditional approaches that often lead to “yo-yo dieting” and negative long-term health effects.

Recent research emphasizes the critical role of physical therapy, particularly strength training, in preparing patients for surgical procedures. We will present evidence on the benefits of these interventions and offer practical recommendations for healthcare and surgical providers aimed at enhancing patient outcomes.

Participants will gain insights into integrating strength-focused physical therapy into preoperative care, fostering a holistic approach to surgical success. Don’t miss this opportunity to rethink pre-surgical strategies and optimize patient health!


This workshop is sponsored by the Arizona Biomedical Research Centre (ABRC) in collaboration with NAU's Center for Health Equity Research (CHER).
