A member asked:

What pilates exercises should i avoid if 3 months out from an umbilical hernia repair and a rectocele repair? what would be the best exercises for me?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Hernia: No restrictions 3 months after umbilical her is repair are necessary. The rectocele repair however may still warrant activity restriction, and you should check with your surgeon for that. Hope this helps!
