Frequently asked questions
When should I start physiotherapy after spine surgery?
Timing depends on the procedure. Many protocols allow early mobility within days to weeks. We follow your surgeon's specific guidance.

This varies by procedure. Simple decompressions may take 8-12 weeks. Fusion surgery may take 4-6 months for full return to activity.
