exercise after Lat Flap surgery

gabriellaM

I had lat flap reconstruction about 3 years ago, no issues with pain or limitations to range of movement, can swim, dance, run etc, but recently tried rock climbing (at a climbing gym). Impossible! I could barely do anything. My 13 year old son is a serious rock climber and some of the other parents have taken up the sport too so I would like to try to work up to doing more but I find it hard even to hang. Has anyone with lat flap surgery been able to do something like this with some work and practice? I know it's not the end of the world if I can't but I'd like to try. Just wondering if it's possible.

thanks!!!!
