Fairly useless so far
Well, I’m 3 days into this “prehab” app and finding it useless. This “medical” app does not include captions for the hearing impaired, rendering them useless. The exercises, from what I can ascertain without knowing what is said, don’t appear to be much exercise at all-I’ve been doing more strenuous exercises printed out from American Academy of Orthopaedic Surgeons website for weeks already. It wants me to provide a bunch of health info my doctor already has.
So far, this is not helpful at all.

Don’t Need this
Great Idea!
Great pre-work
Good information and great motivation to prepare for upcoming surgery.
PeerWell Rehab
This app was very helpful preparing me for my knee surgery. After surgery it was invaluable helping me through my rehab. I especially liked the tests, enabling me to see my progress. I recommend using this app faithfully for a good recovery.
Great prehab!
Majority of this prehab I do on a daily basis. But.... it is exceptional for those who don’t.
Helps to prepare for surgery
The information, physical exercises and the other exercises help to prepare you for surgery and rehab post surgery. The physical exercises help to strengthen the leg pre surgery. The tests help you understand your progress or need for more exercises. The meditations help you to relax in preparation for surgery.

So far everything has worked just as peer predicted
AMAZING AND AWESOME
This app has been a very great help to my recovery from surgery!!!
Great app!!
PeerWell made it easy to prepare for surgery. Today I had my hip replacement and everything went well. PTs said my legs were strong and in good shape for recovery. I highly recommend this smart helpful app
Clark’s Review
PeerWell provides a lot of great information both pre- and post-surgery. It is critical to start with the strengthening and circulation exercises as far before your surgery as possible. This will help get a jump-start on the post-surgery process. Be diligent, review the materials every day, pay attention the diet info and stay on top of the exercises. They are just the start. Move as much as possible as soon as you are comfortable doing so. Motion is lotion. Don’t be afraid of all of the pain, just don’t over do it. Good luck with your surgery and recovery.

Great app, easy to follow
Daily reminders but not over done. Easy to follow, useful info. Simple videos to follow. Really like this approach to prehab.
Why not??
Why not give this a try?? Why? Because if your focus is on getting back to your life without a hitch THIS IS YOUR ANSWER! When each day’s session arrives in your inbox, DO IT! Every single day there is more to learn in an easy to understand format. Hate using your cell phone because the letters are too small? NO WORRIES as we can do this on our computer or laptop. My intentions were to do this surgery without complications, I knew I had to trust the pros and PeerWell stepped right up! Do those relaxation techniques! I woke up from surgery calm and collected having used the relaxation tools right before going in. You’re going to love this! Now I’m ready to start playing again!!

Like having an on-call therapist to prepare for surgery!
Thanks!
Before surgery!
Each day I check for my PeerWell things to do with eagerness. My surgery is scheduled for the 5th of December and I have done my prehab for the past 17 days. By watching and doing the video exercises, I am walking better on my surgical knee. The meditations are great, especially the one on pain and anxiety. I feel this is an awesome program and look forward to what is expected of me every day.

Cheated!
The app doesn’t show all the exercises in one go. In fact every day a few exercises come up. It is frustrating as I don’t even know how many days are there in the routine. The information till day 3 is very limited. Spent usd 100 and thought all the information will be readily available. I feel like cheated by the prehab guys.

Preparation for surgery with Peer Well
I started following the Peer Well app daily for about one month before my hip replacement surgery. It was very helpful to receive information about what to expect before the surgery, and which pre-hab exercises to do.
It was also extremely beneficial to follow the daily meditation. I was amazed at how calm I was leading right up to the surgery, and attribute this to the daily meditation.
I highly recommend this app.

Great tips and exercises
The info imparted regarding nutrition, Living Wills and more has been of help in my pre-OP prep
I have been doing all of the recommended exercises twice daily and feel that my leg strength and mobility has improved
I don’t relate well to the meditation exercises. I am not feeling fear or anxiety about the upcoming surgery. However I do enjoy the breathing exercises during meditation
A breathing exercise on how to breathe thru the pain would be welcome

Great reminders to keep you on track.
Feel well with PeerWell
This gentle app gives you a manageable set of tasks to do each day. It provides the tools to assess your progress, breathing and coping techniques, and exercises. There have been occasions where I was overwhelmed by the prospect of all my PT exercises and chose to do the PeerWell activities instead. Surprisingly enough, after doing those daily activities I was feeling capable of doing the exercises I had been procrastinating. I definitely recommend this app.
