Walking after your Hysterectomy

One of the best things you can do for recovery is walking!

Taking short, frequent walks can help your body to heal faster. Walking helps to reduce blood clots, prevent constipation, gas issues and more.

Make sure to listen to your body, and do not push yourself. Start off slow and then increase distance and speed, if you choose. If your tummy gets swollen, or you experience more pain – take a break. Stop. A good tip is to make sure to take your phone with you. If you get to far from home and need to stop, call for a ride!
