Exercises After Surgery
- Returning to normal movement is important after surgery. If you have problems moving, your doctor can refer you to a physiotherapist.
- Begin the following exercises 1 day after surgery. The exercises should be done 3 times a day until you have full movement.
- If pain is stopping you from doing your exercises, use your pain medication 30 minutes before exercising.
- It is normal to feel a gentle stretch while exercising but you should not feel a sharp pain.
- Wear comfortable loose fitting clothing while doing the exercises
