A member asked:
Please tell me, could a person who underwent a back surgery still work out at the gym?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Yes: I suggest nothing but walking for 6-12 weeks then no running or free weights. Strengthen the core. No bending, lifting or twisting. Machines, bicycles and the elliptical are best.
