It's not only about the body healing, but also about regaining strength and confidence within one's sexual health. Following your doctor's advice is key, as they guide you through the stages of recovery.

• Focusing on Healing First: Immediately after surgery, the priority is to allow your body to heal. This means taking it easy and not rushing the process.
• Following a Structured Plan: Eventually, you'll be introduced to a series of exercises to promote blood flow, reduce the risk of infection, and strengthen the muscles in the pelvic area.
• Personalized Care: Just as every individual is different, so is every recovery process. Our team is here to create a program that's specially designed for you.

Through these considerations, we aim to support you every step of the way during your recovery.Personalized Exercises and Physical TherapyOur approach to rehabilitation post-surgery involves creating a structured yet flexible program that caters to each individual's needs and rate of healing.

Gentle Mobility Exercises

As you start to heal, gentle movement is beneficial. We carefully select exercises that balance promoting circulation with protecting your surgical site:

In the early stages, we might suggest light walking and some careful stretching. These activities help to ward off complications such as blood clots and can aid in reducing swelling.

Strengthening Pelvic Floor Muscles

Strengthening the pelvic floor is crucial post-implant. The stronger these muscles are, the more support your implant will have, which can lead to better overall functionality:

These exercises, often known as Kegels, are designed to bolster the muscles that control urine flow and play a role in erectile function. Consistent practice can improve outcomes considerably.
