🌟✨ Post-Abdominal Surgery Self-Care: Part 1 of 3 ✨🌟

Earlier this year, Dr. Brooke Kalisiak underwent gallbladder removal surgery. While her surgery went well, she noticed the lack of post-op recovery instructions. As a pelvic PT, she knew exactly how to care for herself, and now she’s sharing her top tips with you!

Here’s what you’ll learn in Part 1:

1️⃣ *Deep Breathing:* Helps improve lung function and promotes relaxation, aiding in a smoother recovery.
2️⃣ *Magnesium for Good Bowel Movements:* Supports regularity and prevents constipation, which is crucial for avoiding strain on healing tissues. (I love Natural Calm for this)
3️⃣ *Protein to Help Heal:* Essential for tissue repair and speeding up recovery time. (I did a combo of Vital Protein Collagen Peptides, and Happy Viking Plant-Based Protein Powder)
4️⃣ *Stand Tall to Minimize Scar Contracture:* Encourages proper posture, which helps prevent tightening and restrictions around the incision site. It is very common to want to hunch over because of pain or tightness.
5️⃣ *Helichrysum Oil for Bruising:* This oil can help reduce bruising and support skin healing. I rolled it on the bruises multiple times a day.
6️⃣ *Walking Outdoors:* Gentle walking promotes circulation, boosts mood, and aids in overall recovery. If you can’t get outside, walking in your house is also good.

Save this post and share it with a friend who’s preparing for surgery. And if you’re facing an upcoming abdominal surgery, schedule a consult with a pelvic PT ahead of time to learn how to optimize your recovery!
