Exercise following liberation?
Exercise following liberation?
Hi....any thoughts about exercise, type of, and frequency of, following liberation? What to do, what not to do? I do Pilates, but have been a little worried about any negative effect of the upper body exercises. This is all uncharted territory, so suggestions welcome.

hello
I don't have specifics exercises, but I had some done to exercise major part of my body while I had (still have) MS. Therefore, the difficulty is minimal and you can increase first: the number of repetitions and second: add some weight.

I'm not saying people after liberation should go out and bench press 300 lbs, or run an ultra-marathon.
I'm only reporting what the doctor said ... after 48 hours, you can go back to your "normal" routine. (he did also say, watch yourself so you don't bleed because of the blood thinners).
In my wife's case, that's running about 5 miles a day, swimming some days, weight lifting some days. The doctor knew that and he was fine with it ...
She waited 96 hours "just to be safe", and that was her prerogative. But, I'm just reporting what the doctor said.
I don't think he meant, go out and do a routine you didn't do yesterday 48 hours from now. That's just silly.

My doc encouraged exercise. You just want to get those muscles working that may have not been for some time. I asked him if there was anything i shouldn't be doing. Within reason, just carry on as you have.
Depending on your situation pysio therapy might be a good thing to check into. Take your time. Improvement won't happen over night.
