If you have reported you have had a surgical procedure, please read the following:

This exercise program may be helpful for you as you return to your normal activities. These exercises are examples of those commonly recommended after the surgery you reported, but each individual situation is unique and may need the direction of your rehabilitation provider (i.e. physical therapist) or surgeon. Because of this, if you have been prescribed exercises for your recovery already, continue to follow that program. You should NOT change your rehabilitation approach as provided by your physician and/or rehabilitation provider.

This sample of exercises can help to strengthen your muscles, increase your mobility, and improve your function. You do not need to do all of the exercises. Choose the ones you are familiar with or interested in trying. Make sure to follow the instructions carefully. Be mindful of your form and posture as you do each exercise. Try to perform the exercises in the same manner as the model in the video. If you feel any pain, stop. Try another exercise if you like.
