Recover Faster From Surgery With Personal Training and Massage

Jon and I after his surgery Coming back from a major surgery can sometimes be difficult both mentally and physically.   I recently began working with a client who had a hip replacement, finished physical therapy and was looking for a personal trainer to continue the recovery process.   Once a client is done with physical therapy they sometimes are at a loss and don’t go to the gym because they don’t want to re-injure themselves.   It is so important to continue the healing and recovery process with strength training, cardiovascular exercise, stretching, and massage therapy.   My client is a pretty motivated person so he had planned to workout on his own 2 days a week and workout with me once a week.   Since I am also a massage therapist we incorporated a weekly massage into his recovery.   The days he trains on his own he does basic strength training exercises mostly with different machines at the gym.   The day that he is with me we mix things up and focus on more functional move
