Can you train chest after explant surgery? 🏋️‍♀️
One of the most common questions I get from patients is: "When can I get back to the gym?"
In my latest podcast episode, I’m joined by Dr. Shannon Ritchey, PT, to discuss the biomechanics of chest wall recovery. We dive into why "gentle consistency" beats the "no pain, no gain" mentality every time—especially when reconstructing the pec major.
In this episode, we cover:
Why CrossFit might be a "never" for post-op patients.
The "World Cup" timeline for surgical healing.
How to build muscle without triggering chronic inflammation.
