Post colostomy, the abdominal muscles are the first one to go lax, so their might be certain exercises needed to strengthen them. Also, strengtheing of spinal extensors may be needed if a person is suffering from low back pain arising after colostomy. Aerobic exercises, like swimming, running, cycling might be needed to improve the cardiac reserve depleted after surgery.
