A member asked:
As i do abs tightening workouts after post hernia repair(on jan 2014), how/who will know to measure abs muscle strength? is there a objective way?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Muscles don't help: A hernia is not a defect in muscle but the fascia between the muscle layers and exercise will not strengthen those.
