If you have ever had surgery, chances are exercise has been part of your recovery process. Depending on the type of surgery, exercise is typically used to help you return to pre-operative activities. If done properly, exercise will definitely improve your balance and make you more flexible. Exercise will strengthen the muscles that help stabilize your joints while keeping your cardiovascular and other bodily systems working properly.
How quickly you start exercise after major surgery will vary with the type of surgery you had. Simple outpatient surgery may only require a week or two whereas major surgery will likely sideline you for six to twelve weeks. Even if you begin to feel better prior to full recovery, you should not attempt any exercises without first consulting a physician.
