Our user asked: "I have a complete abdominal mesh as a result of a MVA. I had the surgery over a year ago, I would like know what exercises can I do that will not rip my umbilical?"

Ask a PT Response: "Injury can result if exercises are performed prior to adequate healing time for this procedure. Without having more information and being able to physically evaluate you, it would be difficult for me to provide any suggestions. It would be best if you consult with your surgeon to see if you are OK to begin exercise to this region and what limitations or precautions you should follow. Sorry I couldn't be of more help."
