Personalised, structured rehabilitation designed to restore strength, movement, and confidence after spinal surgery.
Recovering from spinal surgery can feel daunting.
You may feel stiff, cautious about bending or twisting, or unsure how much activity is safe. Pain levels can fluctuate, and confidence often drops — particularly in the early weeks after discharge.
Whether you have had lumbar decompression, discectomy, spinal fusion, cervical surgery, or another spinal procedure, rehabilitation must be gradual, structured, and guided.
This 6-week programme provides clear, expert-led physiotherapy — tailored specifically to your surgery, stage of healing, and personal goals.
Your physiotherapist has extensive NHS experience in post-operative spinal rehabilitation and understands the importance of protecting healing structures while restoring strength and function.
Is This Programme Right For You?
You may benefit if you:
- Have recently had spinal surgery (lumbar or cervical)
- Feel stiff, weak or cautious with movement
- Are unsure how to safely increase activity levels
- Experience ongoing back or neck discomfort
- Feel deconditioned following hospital stay
- Want structured weekly progression
- Want to regain confidence in daily activities
Spinal recovery is not about avoiding movement — it is about restoring it safely and progressively.
What’s Included
Every programme is bespoke, but typically includes:
- A detailed post-operative assessment in your home
- Review of surgical precautions and healing timelines
A structured 6-week rehabilitation plan - Gentle mobility and nerve mobility work (where appropriate)
- Core and spinal stabilisation exercises
Postural and movement retraining - Walking and functional progression
- Advice on pacing and flare-up management
- Weekly physiotherapy input (home visit or virtual)
- Ongoing adjustments based on your recovery
No two spinal surgeries are identical — and no two recoveries should be either.
