What if gentle, strategic movement could significantly enhance your recovery post-explant surgery? That's exactly what we explore in this episode of Empowered Explant. Join me as I share my journey from severe fatigue and muscle atrophy to newfound strength, and discover how pre-surgery exercise centered on the core, back, legs, and glutes can make all the difference. 

We highlight the importance of incorporating gentle cardio, resistance training, and mobility exercises. Learn how boosting blood flow, muscle strength, and flexibility can reduce recovery time, helping you to approach your surgery with greater confidence and preparedness.

Listen in for actionable tips on how to support overall health and expedite recovery, ensuring you feel empowered every step of the way as you prepare for your explant surgery.
