Two essential physiotherapy exercises reduce the risk of post-operative hysterectomy side effects.
Deep Breathing Exercises
Diaphragmatic Breathing technique to restore oxygen levels post-surgery. Learn to expand your lungs and reduce the risk of post-op lung problems e.g. decreased ventilation and chest infection.
Circulation Exercises
Reduce risk of deep venous thrombosis (DVT) with calf pump circulation exercises. Help prevent blood clots by increasing lower limb circulation (blood flow).
2. Bed-Safe Movement Post-Hysterectomy Recovery Exercises (24-48 hrs post-surgery)
Bed-safe exercises prevent joint stiffness such as low back pain after hysterectomy, relieve physical discomfort and improve mobility weeks 1-6 post hysterectomy.
Heel Slides
Improve circulation, relieve stiffness, and promote recovery in your lower back, hips, and knees. Follow the demonstrated technique to ensure the best results without straining your wound.
Pelvic Tilts
Combat lower back pain and stiffness by incorporating pelvic tilts into your routine. This exercise is particularly helpful for women with sway back (large inward curve in the lower back.
Knee Rolls
Ease lower back discomfort with gentle knee rolls. Gradually increase the range of motion during your recovery at home while being cautious of any abdominal wounds.
Bridges
Boost circulation and alleviate pressure in your lower back, hips, and buttocks with bridge exercises. This practical technique aids in safe movement around the bed during your recovery.

I'm 33, 2 weeks post hysterectomy. I have my ovaries so i don't go into menopause. Your videos are helping me along as the drs didnt give much advice except for bed rest. I have a question tho. I have always had snd still have a high metabolism. So much so that resting is a bit of a problem for me as I'm always on the go. How do i gain weight?

Hi Michelle, I'm 2 years post hysterectomy, cystocele and rectocele repair. Can you tell me if pilates on reformer exercises are safe?

@kareng9880 8 ай бұрын

I had a hysterectomy 2 weeks ago and had an indwelling catheter for 2 weeks. After removal I have been unable to urinate and have been doing self catheterization. I saw your video on relaxing the pelvic floor, but I am not sure it is safe to do that yet. I also had bladder and rectal prolapse repair at the same time. I am 69 years old and still pretty weak. Any thoughts would be appreciated.

Great tips michelle! wished I had of been doing these post op. have really been on my own getting through my new weight of balance and lower back painful stiffness.(6 months now) Think the hardest part for a lot of us who have had prolapse surgery as well as the hysterectomy...being scared of damaging the repair work. I had a grade 4 bladder situation plus rectal prolapse. iTs been very hard but I am very grateful to be this far along and even though the pain and discomfort has been alot I have no regrets. Each day my miracle body is a little bit stronger. Ive really come along since starting putting a yoga block under my sacrum and melting into the floor. About 5 mins each day 🙂 Sitting on a chair and bending over (like folding in half) also loosens up that lower stiffness. I hurt my neck lol doing those side ones you taught us about a week ago....you did say not to push up if you have a weakness there..stay on the ground ....and of course you were right! they are helping too. so grateful you are here.xx

Oooh the bridge scares me…. Just because all that is attached to sacrum muscles with the sacralcolpopexy and rectopexy. I’m curious. But a least I know this is ok to move around hopefully, I’ve done a similar move moving in bed. PFPT said the lumbar rotation you did was fine. I just did 2 heel slides each side very gently. Thanks Michelle My tailbone and hips are getting really sore from being in bed even though I have been getting up and walking quite a bit.

@michellephysio 10 ай бұрын

@naturegirl4074 no need to be scared by the bridge. Rectopexy is perfomed inside the pelvis, the buttock muscles used int the bridge are outside the pelvis. I have often found that women experience sacral/low back discomfort after rectopexy and bridge is a great safe way to get pressure off the sacrum and low back. It is also the only safe way to move around in bed. No head and shoulders lifting forward off the pillow as this uses the strong outer/upper abs and increases pressure on the pelvic floor. I almost always say to patients imagine your head and shoulders are stuck to the pillow after prolapse surgery and hysterectomy. This way they move safely using the bridge. Have a try and tell me how you go, even 1-2 bridges. Slide heels one at a time to butt and then with both knees bent, feet flat lift butt off bed head stays down on the pillow 🌻

@@michellephysio wonderful! Thank you! Yes I am having Pain in low back, I have spine and hip issues but worse since Op and mostly inactivity. I was thinking lifting the head wasn’t good especially laying in back. Is it ok to lift the head a little when on side to adjust pillow etc? Thank you for the reassurance and advice! I so appreciate you! You’ve helped me so much!

@@naturegirl4074 yes I hear you and I've often seen this exact sequela in the past post sacrospinous fixation it's not unusual. If you're still in hospital, best to request a Physio assessment and treatment if available. If you're at home regular safe movement is key. Regular application of warm packs to the low back/pelvis and gentle soft tissue massage to the lower back and upper buttocks can also provide substantial relief along with perofrming regular in bed mobility exercises as shown in this video. Try to avoid lifting head forward but fine to lift in sidelying. Wishing you the very best, I'm here if you need any further info. I can't tell you how long this will last as I havent had the opportunity to assess you formally however based on past patients usually only short term and eases with increased mobility and healing. Best to see your pelvic floor physiotherapist for assessment and management.

@@michellephysio I’m out of the hospital. They let most women put the same day! Isn’t that crazy? I spent one night in hospital. They used mesh for the “pexys” since I have hEDS my own tissue is too weak. I Stayed at a hotel 1 night after I got out of hospital then had to ride home 5 hrs away. I also had to go back for 2 week po check. That was hard. Again at 8 weeks po should be a bit better. I see my PFPT Wednesday to start some massage etc. I have hEDS, spine and hip deterioration too. So it’s lot lol Thank you so much Michelle, you are an absolute gem! I will try not to be afraid! And I will be careful :) I think I’ve done pretty well so far. Thank goodness I e watched your videos and others as well as had PFPT beforehand! I really appreciate your help so much! Oh I forgot to add. Doc said I was hypertonic at 2 week lost op check. I did most the exercises on this video yesterday except bridge, I just now did 2 low bridges. Seemed ok! Edit: since you called attention to the lifting of the head while laying down- I thought I was being super careful but noticed o do lift my head slightly sometimes! I hope o haven’t ruined anything. Still having BM’s and peeing ok. Seems like the perineum fix has lowered a little again and the anus from rectopexy. Not a lot, just a little. Wonder if it’s because of my hEDS or normal. Or part of healing. I’m still not even 4 weeks post op yet

Are the bed exercises ok after rectopexy?

@michellephysio 10 ай бұрын

@naturegirl4074 hello there, so lovely to hear from you naturegirl. Yes indeed, these are the exact exercises I prescibe for rectopexy post op, they will help recovery and avoid help reduce risk side effects. These exercises are safe for after prolapse repair surgery/recovery for most women unless advised not to move for example if a woman already has calf clots (DVT) post op then she shouldn't do calf pumps/circulation exercises becuase this exercise can shift a clot. These exercises will prevent the same problems women experience after prolapse surgery in fact I could have called this safe exercises after prolapse surgery for recovery. Let me know if you have any questions, best wishes Michelle

How far post op can you get blood clots?

@michellephysio 10 ай бұрын

@naturegirl the greatest risk is when the patient is not moving much during early recovery, this is one reason why starting short frequent walks and moving the legs and feet safely in bed and sitting out of bed is encouraged, especially during early recovery (first 2-3 weeks). Just like long haul flights when we are all advised to do calf pump exercises/small frequent walks everyone is at risk of clots when the legs are immobile for extended periods of time. Post op the risk is increased so important to move, as simple as the circulation exercises in this video. Let me know if you need any futher information. Take care, if you have hsad recent surgery I wish you all the best for your recovery MK
