Supporting Your Recovery After Hysterectomy: What to Expect from Therapy
Posted on May 24th, 2024
Recovering from a hysterectomy is a unique journey that looks different for every woman. At Lotus Physical Therapy for Women, PLLC, we understand the physical and emotional challenges that can arise after surgery—and we're here to help you heal with care that’s tailored to your needs.
One of the most powerful tools in post-operative recovery is guided movement. While we don’t publish one-size-fits-all exercise plans online, movement is an important part of our in-clinic therapy process. Our licensed professionals assess each individual’s condition and create a custom treatment plan that often includes gentle therapeutic activities to help rebuild strength, improve mobility, and support the pelvic floor.
What Is a Hysterectomy?
A hysterectomy is a surgical procedure that involves the removal of the uterus and, in some cases, other reproductive organs such as the cervix, ovaries, or fallopian tubes. This procedure may be performed for a variety of medical reasons including fibroids, endometriosis, chronic pelvic pain, or cancer.
Post-surgery recovery varies depending on the type of hysterectomy and each individual’s health history. That’s why we don’t take a cookie-cutter approach to care. Instead, we provide comprehensive, supportive, and highly personalized therapy that evolves as you heal.
Why Movement Matters After a Hysterectomy
At Lotus Physical Therapy, movement is one of the key elements of your recovery. However, it's not about "doing exercises" on your own—it’s about engaging in safe, therapist-guided activities that help your body heal in a balanced way.
Some benefits of therapeutic movement as part of your recovery include:
- Restoring mobility and function
- Enhancing circulation to promote healing
- Reducing the risk of complications such as blood clots or stiffness
- Supporting pelvic floor function
- Boosting mood and emotional wellness
All movement is introduced at a pace that is safe, gentle, and appropriate for your stage of healing. Our therapists are specially trained in women’s pelvic health and will walk alongside you every step of the way.
Individualized Care, Every Time
We believe that no two recoveries are alike. That's why every therapy plan at Lotus Physical Therapy for Women, PLLC is uniquely designed to match your specific needs, goals, and comfort level. We do not share a list of standard post-op exercises on our blog because the most effective recovery plans are those created with you in mind.
If you're healing from a hysterectomy—or preparing for one—our team can help guide you with personalized strategies that support a full, confident recovery.
