Talk about your activity level with your surgeon, he/she is in the best position to guide you. However, my general rule is that you can resume treadmill activity with a MPH that is equal to your week of recovery i.e. Week 1 = 1MPH, Week 2 = 2MPH, etc.
Thank you for your question. I always recommend to my patients to start exercises tend six weeks after PO, gradually: first, gentle walks without sweating, then, you can go to the gym to do aerobics, and, after four months you can stats with machines exercise and start with light weights, and, if there are no problems, only six months after PO may charge "free weights".Respectfully,Dr. Emmanuel Mallol Cotes.
Thanks for the question. After a week your surgery area is totally healed and yes you can do gym and also do other activities. I wish you all the best.
Thank you for your question. Every surgeon has his/her own protocol for returning to the gym. In my practice I allow my patients to return to light cardio (elliptical, seated bicycle, treadmill) after 3 weeks, and no weight lifting, yoga training or weight bearing exercises until 6 weeks post-op. Best of luck to you.
You surgeon will have a protocol specific for their practice. However, it is best to wait until you are pain free before resuming exercise.
Thank you for your question. As a general rule, patients should defer to their operating surgeon's guidelines with regards to post-operative care including exercise, heavy lifting, compression garment use or non-use, etc... In my practice, I ask that patients refrain from all exercise and heavy lifting for four weeks following their surgical procedure. It is important that patients ambulate or leisurely walk around following surgery to promote good circulation, but exercising too soon can compromise your healing and increase the amount of post-operative swelling that a patient can expect to have. Best of luck!
