A member asked:

Mesh repair ing hernia 18m ago. at times discomfort in area. surgeon says repair ok, rec. stretching, but gave no stretches. any stretch suggestions?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Stretching: I am enthusiastic about water exercises in general. Water aerobics in a pool, just swimming laps, etc. Also some of the more gentle yoga classes would help (Talk with the instructor first). Bad DOC, BAD go to your corner;)
