Description

Regular exercises to restore the strength of your back and a gradual return to everyday activities are important for your full recovery. Your orthopaedic surgeon and physical therapist may recommend that you exercise 10 to 30 minutes a day 1 to 3 times a day during your early recovery. This guide can help you better understand your exercise and activity program, which should be supervised by your therapist and orthopaedic surgeon.
