Browse our Hernia Recovery Programme
Recommended by our specialist care team and based on our care of over 2,000 patients, our recovery resources are designed to help you get back to the things that matter, without your hernia holding you back.
Whether you are living with a hernia or recovering after hernia surgery, our recovery programme will aid symptom management before surgery and recovery after hernia surgery.
Our post-surgery recovery programme is designed to help you heal quickly and heal well, improve your mobility and reduce the chances of recurrence.
We do this through providing you with valuable products and information.
It consists of Hernia Supports, Hernia Rehabilitation Exercises and our Abdominal Surgery Advice Leaflet.
Use all 3 resources together to get the best results.
With all our products, we will email you our Abdominal Surgery Advice Leaflet
This includes expert advice so you can get back to the things that matter:
- How your body heals – Our goal is to help you maximise your recovery from surgery by understanding how to influence and use your body's natural ability to heal to its fullest potential.
- Managing symptoms before surgery – Our programme will help with strengthening the abdominal wall and, if you have a hernia, managing symptoms even if you have not had surgery yet
- Bruising after abdominal surgery – what bruising to expect after surgery and how using our recommended abdominal supports improves this.
- Wound care after surgery – removing dressings, massaging the wound, and managing discomfort as your wound heals
- Returning to activity – you can get back to the life you had before, but carefully!
- Pain relief – from over-the-counter medication, to how the abdominal supports and rehabilitation exercises help relieve discomfort
- Post-surgery risks – This programme is designed to reduce the specific risks of an incisional hernia (or recurrent hernia from developing if operation was to repair a hernia) and to reduce your risk of chronic discomfort after abdominal surgery.
