Health Tip: Exercising After Joint Replacement
By LadyLively on June 28, 2016
Having joint replacement surgery doesn’t mean exercise is out of the picture.
The American Academy of Orthopaedic Surgeons offers these guidelines:
- Your doctor may have restrictions on your exercise regimen, so always consult your doctor before you exercise after surgery.
- Until your doctor says it’s OK, don’t jog, ski, run or do other exercises that put the replaced joint under stress.
- Opt for less-stressful exercises such as swimming, doubles tennis, golf and biking.
