Preventing Adhesions: Tips for Optimal Tissue Health

While adhesions can be challenging to manage, there are steps you can take to reduce your risk of developing them.

Tips for Preventing Adhesions:

  • Stay Active: Regular physical activity can help maintain healthy tissue mobility and prevent adhesions from forming.

  • Proper Posture and Body Mechanics: Maintain good posture and use proper body mechanics when lifting or performing repetitive movements to reduce strain on tissues.

  • Stay Hydrated: Drink plenty of water to keep tissues hydrated and pliable, which can help prevent adhesions from forming.

  • Healthy Diet: Eat a balanced diet rich in vitamins, minerals, and antioxidants to support tissue repair and reduce inflammation.

  • Avoid Smoking: Smoking can impair tissue healing and increase the risk of adhesion formation, so quitting smoking can help reduce this risk.

  • Early Mobilization After Surgery: If you undergo surgery, follow your healthcare provider's instructions for early mobilization and gentle movement to prevent adhesions from forming during the healing process.
