Recovery time for Physical Work?



Recommended Posts

Hey guys. :) I'm a licensed massage therapist to be banded in May (on Cinco De Mayo! Vodka is a clear liquid right? Jk). My job is, as you might expect, very physical. I'm fortunate where I'm in a good place to take several weeks off, but I'm curious if anyone else here does physical work and how fast your recovery was?

If you have a desk job, how long was it until you could do (gentle) core exercises?

My surgeon required me to take 3 weeks off due to the fact that my job is very physical with a lot of lifting/pulling/tugging involved. I was glad to have the time off too.

Good advice from countrysweet, I think the best would be to check with your own surgeon.however. I know that even light work is not cool for a few weeks.I couldn't lift anything more than a gallon of milk the 1st 2 weeks. Best wishes.Karen..aka.kkll724
