April discusses the importance of addressing these misconceptions, which often stem from well-intentioned but misguided advice, and how they can create confusion and fear around movement during crucial periods of recovery. The conversation also touches on similar issues faced post-surgery, such as after abdominoplasty or hernia repairs.
