In today's episode of Meet Your Body, physical therapist Jessica Valant discusses the nine steps you need to take in order to start movement and exercise after a surgery, injury or diagnosis. She draws from both her professional expertise as well as her personal experience recovering from six different surgeries - including hysterectomy and mastectomy - in order to bring you truly valuable and compassionate advice.
