Hi,

I am almost 2 weeks post surgery and having my follow-up this coming Friday. I am curious if anyone was prescribed any type of physical therapy for recovery of your abdominal strength?

Seems crazy that we wouldn't be prescribed physical therapy to help rebuild and retrain muscles that were sliced away. It was the same after 3 c-sections but I was so much younger then and my body healed faster...and this is totally different molecularly healing.

Anyway, just curious to see if anyone had a doctor prescribe physical therapy for recovery?

Staying strong!

Holly

      If you go on and look up abdominal hollowing /pelvic tilting/single bent knee fall out/ knee rolling this should help
