Whether living with a hernia, waiting for surgery, or wanting to improve your recovery and results from surgery, our physical exercise for hernias programme can help.
At Hernia Clinic Hampshire, we have worked with patients to design this bespoke rehabilitation exercise programme for patients of all fitness levels— from young sporty 20-year-olds to less mobile, 96-year-olds.
Our dedication to patient-focused care has driven our development of this programme. We want to work with you to achieve excellent results.
All you need to start is a matt or a large towel and some space. Once you have purchased a subscription you will be sent the rehab hernia exercise videos, some guidance and as a bonus one pdf to get you started without using an electronic device. You can start the exercises as soon as you like.
These hernia surgery exercises help with re-strengthening your core muscles and improving comfort in your abdominal muscles and groin through physical exercise both before and after hernia surgery.
They also help to influence how the scar remodels – in particular, lines of tension caused by stretching and exercise.
While surgery is the only way to fix a hernia, these are also helpful exercises for hernias and strengthening your abdominal muscles even before having surgery.
If you are a surgery patient with Hernia Clinic Hampshire, this programme is included within your package. If you would like to find out more about becoming a patient, please see our Hernia Surgery Information.
With this programme, you gain access to our 5 videos, each around 20-30 minutes long, with an instructor guiding you through the various exercises.
