    Default Prolapse, can my mother still train?

    My mother was diagnosed with prolapse some years ago (she is in her mid fifties, overall good health), her uterus came close to fall out. Her doctors have told her she may not lift heavy weights. But as we know, doctors also say one should not squat below parallel. My question is, is it safe to do the squats and dead lifts, maybe with lower weights? I do not think the bench and press is a problem. I am unsure if she wants to do the power clean.

    Do you need any other information? Should she listen to the doctors?

    I'd need the details of the surgery and here rehab.
