If you are having a hernia repair, you many have several questions about what you can do or how you can expect to feel after hernia surgery. Our goal is to ensure you have all the information you need for a smooth and comfortable recovery after hernia surgery.
Our advice covers important information on how to get the best from your hernia surgery, as well as information on how to improve your results by using our Hernia Rehabilitation Exercises and advice on buying hernia supports.
We have worked with patients to design these exercises for patients to help you to achieve excellent results.
These exercises help strengthen the core muscles around your hernia both before and after surgery. And, after surgery, they influence how the scar remodels for a more comfortable, flexible scar.
The majority of our patients who completed our rehabilitation exercise survey believed that our recovery exercises helped their recovery.
These Hernia Rehabilitation Exercises are suitable for those of all ages and athletic abilities who struggle with a hernia.
Using hernia supports is a simple yet effective way to make your recovery easier. Before surgery, they can help reduce the symptoms caused by a hernia. After surgery, they reduce bruising and swelling, provide support, reduce discomfort, and help you feel more confident staying active as you heal.
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.
