What exercises are recommended, and what exercises are NOT recommended for a client like this. 4 Answers ActiveVotedNewestOldest 0 Sue0 Posted 0 Comments I had this surgery and it’s no fun!

Of course, following PT’s guidelines is always essential! You are viewing 1 out of 4 answers, click here to view all answers. Register or Login
