Hernia Active Living Trial (HALT): an exercise intervention in people with a parastomal hernia or bulge

CONCLUSIONS: A clinical pilates-based exercise programme for people with a parastomal hernia can bring both direct and indirect improvements to a patient's hernia management, sense of wellbeing and day-to-day life. Individuals with a hernia should be informed about the need for, and value of, exercise to strengthen core muscles, as part of their non-surgical options for self-management.PMID:38060393 | DOI:10.12968/bjon.2023.32.22.S4
