Exercise After Surgery
What’s a good exercise routine after back surgery?
Hi, all.
I have a friend who has had two vertebral discs trimmed. He used to do weight training, and is seriously bummed that he can’t any longer.
Are there any exercises he can do? If not, who should we see before he starts – a physical therapist?
Thanks!
He should check first with his family doctor if Pilates is good for him.
This program was developed by the late Joseph Pilates (he had asthma) for dancers, acrobats, etc. who were injured and were not able to exercise but still needed to keep in shape while recovering.
He can join a heath club that offers Pilates classes or buy a Pilates performer from Q.V.C. , only after he talks to his doctor.
Or how about swimming? It’s low impact and good for all the muscles…
