My advice to you will be to avoid weight training for a 6-8 weeks. Until then work on your core and strengthen that. Once you have done that and have had pain relief for a longer duration of time, then gradually start weight training.

Hello I understand you having relief from your pain but I would suggest you to start strengthening with your Physiotherapist first. Let them decide your strength training. Start gradually and then start with proper weight training.
