groin strengthening

[One PAFC]

I'm about to go in for my second hernia operation next weekend, both have been a result of general heavy lifting at work.

After I recover from the op, I would like to be able to try and strengthen up the groin muscles and help prevent future hernia's. Going to the gym is out of the question for quite a while, so any general stuff I can do to help?

i highly doubt you need a groin strengthening program for a hernia. from memory they are caused by weakness in the abdominal wall causing the abdominal contents to protrude through and distend into that area.

Correct. I was just hoping there was something I could do to strengthen it up
