As mentioned previously, a hernia is usually only fixed with surgery. However, some studies have shown that exercise may help reduce any post-surgery complications. We have had clients close their umbilical hernias using RYC but it is less common. Prehabilitation is an effective way to begin healing the muscles in your abdomen and may help prevent future complications. However, it is important to remember that certain exercises may further compromise abdominal health. At Restore Your Core we offer a variety of restorative exercise and rehabilitation programs for those suffering from compromised abdominal health.
