What kind of sports are suitable for patients in the recovery period after kidney cancer surgery

What kind of exercise is suitable for patients in the recovery period after kidney cancer surgery? Lao Wang underwent surgery for kidney cancer. He was discharged from the hospital and went home shortly after the surgery because of his good recovery. Before going home, the doctor advised Lao Wang to do proper exercise and told him several exercise methods suitable for people like him, which are as follows.

Kidney strengthening exercises

Kidney strengthening exercises are suitable for patients who can get out of bed and exercise after kidney cancer surgery. They can be divided into 4 steps:

1. Stand with your feet parallel and shoulder-width apart. Look at the tip of your nose, let your arms hang naturally, place your palms on the seams of your pants, and spread your fingers naturally. Lift your heels and breathe for 9 consecutive times without touching the ground.

2. Inhale again, slowly bend your knees and squat down, gradually turn the backs of your hands forward, with your knuckles facing your ankles. When your hands are close to the ground, clench them into fists with a little force (as if you are grabbing something), and inhale deeply.

3. Hold your breath, gradually stand up, let your hands hang down, and gradually clench them.

4. Exhale, stand upright, twist your arms outward, point your fists forward, squeeze your soft ribs with your elbows from both sides, and lift your body and heels upward. The above steps can be repeated several times.

Tai Chi

Tai Chi is an ancient Chinese health-preserving exercise, which is characterized by being upright, comfortable, light, flexible, soft, slow and even, and orderly opening and closing. Tai Chi exercises are both natural and elegant. The key is that the waist is the pivot of the exercise and the movements are slow, which is very suitable for kidney cancer patients in the recovery period.

Sit-ups

Sit-ups are suitable for patients with good wound healing and sufficient physical strength. During the exercise, the patient lies on the bed (preferably a wooden bed) with legs together and straight, without using hands to support, and only uses the waist strength to sit up, with hands on the waist, thumbs in front, four fingers behind, and sit up and sit down 15 times in a row. If the elderly find it difficult to do it, they can reduce the amount.
