Summary

Inguinal hernia repair is one of the most common surgeries, with more than 20 million performed globally each year. It is estimated that approximately 15% of patients undergoing inguinal hernia repair will experience persistent post-surgical pain that could last months to years. Evidence from related procedures indicates that better surgical preparation through pre-operative exercise and education (i.e. Prehabilitation) followed by ongoing post-surgical rehabilitation leads to more rapid recovery, return to activities and lower likelihood of persistent post-surgical pain. The investigators will determine the feasibility of a peri-operative rehabilitation program (pre- and post-surgery) and our study protocol for patients undergoing inguinal hernia repair surgery. The investigators hypothesize that: 1) our peri-operative intervention will be feasible and safe to undertake within a clinical setting; 2) adequate numbers will be enrolled to justify a larger trial; and that 3) our outcome measurement protocol will provide meaningful information with high response rate and low attrition after 3 months.
