In fact, the majority of our patients who completed our Clinical Outcomes surveys have said that they would recommend a hernia support to those undergoing a hernia repair, finding it helped them feel more confident returning to activity and helped relieve discomfort.
We sell hernia supports that have been tested and recommended by past patients. These are available in our Hernia Recovery Programme Shop. The advice given there is still useful if you buy hernia supports elsewhere.
