Recovering from spinal fusion surgery is a critical phase for long-term health and mobility. At SOS Physio, we work closely with patients to ensure a smooth recovery process, focusing on reducing pain and improving strength.

Key Topics:

• What is Back Fusion Surgery?
  • A procedure that fuses two or more vertebrae to stabilize the spine.
  • Common for treating herniated discs, scoliosis, or chronic back pain.
• Post-Surgery Challenges:
  • Reduced flexibility and discomfort.
  • Risks of muscle atrophy due to inactivity.
• How Physical Therapy Helps:
  • Gentle Mobility Exercises: To prevent stiffness and promote healing.
  • Core Strengthening: Protecting the spine by building supportive muscles.
  • Pain Management: Techniques such as manual therapy to reduce discomfort.
