His concern is in the exercise world, an OT is more activities of daily living
I worked in a hand surgery clinic for a few months. In lieu of an OT.Correct but you want to keep your hand function at prior ability while recovering too.
Thanks, I think that is my path also. May do lower body workouts and some body weight core work, but hands are offimits.I've had surgery at my wrist a couple of years ago. Dr. advised me to stay out of the gym for two to four wks. To keep from doing any damage to the area. Cardio was fine but nothing as far as weight lifting. Good luck and a speedy recovery.
Was it the grip or weight bearing that concerned the doc more? It depended on the surgeon in the clinic. One was far more conservative with activity, leading to a “sit, sit sit...now work” mentality.I've had surgery at my wrist a couple of years ago.
