Hi Tanya
Thank you for your response. I ended up ringing the recon surgeon's office to ask if ok to proceed and he said I could pretty much do anything I want when it comes to exercise/pt.
What I didn't add in my post yesterday is that I am currently 7 weeks post hysterectomy & hernia repair. I was told by surgeon to not lift any thing heavy for the first 6 weeks or above my head while recovering. So with PT I've been avoiding any strain on stomach area and doing no jumping at this stage. The planking from my session this week was my very first attempt at exercising my stomach and I only did what I could then stopped. I am not sure if after 6 weeks if I am allowed to do PT. I am trying to be careful but some of my friends are concerned I'm being recless.
