Pano Ba Paliitin Ang Tyan


Recommended Posts

any ab workout for people who had spinal surgery that you can recommend?

 

Depends on what type of surgery (is it spinal fusion, diskectomy, etc.?) and in what segment of the spine.

 

Whatever it may be, you can try some isometrics/muscle setting exercises..

 

try the 1st exercise of Williams flexion regimen; (you must first be cleared by your physician to lie in a supine/nakatihaya position):

 

Lie supine, place both hand between your body and bed (within the small of your back), push/squeeze your hands against the bed (you can only do this if you contract your abs/rectus abdominis muscle without any movement of your chest or pelvis & legs), hold for 5-8 seconds then release. Repeat: 1-2 sets of 10-12 reps of 5-8 seconds hold per rep.

 

The firs exercise of William's won't increase your abdominal strength nor will it decrease your waistline; it's goal is supposedly to prep the trunk for the succeeding levels of Williams and to prevent deconditioning in a bed-bound patient.

 

BTW, before doing any isometrics (exercises that involves you holding a position against resistance and thus holding your breath) a clearance from a physician must be obtained; it is because isometrics can increase your blood pressure during the exercise..

 

For the rest of the body especially your limbs, you can do Range-of-motion exercises. Try as much as possible to exercise the lower limb without producing a pelvic tilt (tuwad or liyad).

 

peace! :mtc:
