Hi everyone,

I am needing some suggestions for balance & strengthening exercises. I had surgery number 6 on my right shoulder last Wednesday and will not be allowed to do any type of exercises with it for 4-6 months except pendulums. I am thinking yoga, but have never done that.
What type of exercises would be good to do while recovering?

Thanks, Lisa

    If you're in recovery from a surgery, you should be asking this question of your physical therapist, not random people on the internet.

    I have to agree with quiksylver. You need to consult your doctor or PT. I had surgery on my elbow and I got so much random bad advice from people that if I listened could have done more damage then good. Get the Ok from your Dr or PT and should be able to rehab well. I hope you heal up fast.

    Talk to your dr. I seriously doubt bodyweight exercises are ok, so you might end up spending at least half the time in a yoga class just watching the others. Talk to your dr and ask for details about what is safe.
