Regular Member izzy Posted August 18, 2011 Regular Member Share Posted August 18, 2011 Hi Guys, I was just wondering if anyone actually carried out the scalp exercises pre op. The exercise whereby you massage the donor area. Any tips ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Senior Member orlhair1 Posted August 19, 2011 Senior Member Share Posted August 19, 2011 I did the exercises as instructed by SMG prior to my surgery.

Senior Member hairthere Posted August 19, 2011 Senior Member Share Posted August 19, 2011 Yes I did them religiously starting 2 months pre-op. It's really more of a stretch than a massage though. Jotronic has a video posted on the H&W site where he shows you how to do it.

Senior Member NEWHAIRPLEASE Posted August 19, 2011 Senior Member Share Posted August 19, 2011 Yes, Dr Rahal told me, the earlier the better, 5 min in the morning and 5 in the evening. I'm still 5 months out so I try to do it at least once a day. When I get to two months out I will be very strict. Newhairplease!!

Senior Member Jotronic Posted August 19, 2011 Senior Member Share Posted August 19, 2011 Newhair, I HIGHLY recommend that you do more than 5 min in the a.m. and 5 in the p.m. If you want the maximum # of grafts you should do the exercises anytime you have a free minute or two. Izzy, In case you haven't seen the video, this is the one I put together several months ago. It is revised from the original that was posted several years ago. I added an alternative method at the end that significantly reduces the amount of neck strain.
