Stretches allowed??
Posted , 6 users are following.
Hi, I'm 3 weeks post op bilateral posterior approach. I loved yoga before my surgery. Is it too early to do the butterfly stretch where your heals are together and your hips/legs fall to the side? Don't want to dislocate my hips but can't wait to do certain stretches. Anyone have any advice/experience if that stretch is allowed?

I'm a pilates and yoga teacher (9 weeks post op )...I strongly advise that you do not do "butterfly ". I've been doing shoulder bridge 8-10reps ..squats against the wall with feet gently turned out .clam with pillow between knees ..these are the sort of thing exercises you should have come out with gx

Hi Kim,
you will be able to resume all normal (for you) physical activity and exercise. Here weeks is VERY early and my advice is take it slowly and listen to your body. I'm two years post op now and have forgotten I had the operation.
