Most patients are mobilized the same day after surgery, which significantly reduces the need for prolonged physical therapy. However, specific exercises or therapy are crucial to ensure optimal recovery. Spinal surgeries correct structural issues, but rebuilding muscular strength remains essential, emphasising the importance of tailored physical therapy and consistent exercise.
