william_v 0 Posted June 28, 2017 is it safe to do stretching exercises in the first 3 weeks after surgery? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Diana_in_Philly 1,426 Posted June 28, 2017 I was back in the gym three weeks after surgery doing my full routine. My team just told me to listen to my body and be careful with lifting that involved my core. I was doing 45 minutes to an hour on the recumbent bike and then a full weight circuit on the machines (not much by way of free weights until I was 6 weeks out.) If you do it and your body feels oK, then do it more. Just be careful with any abdominal stretching. If it hurts, stop. 2 Debmelb and Newme17 reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
