Therapy post surgery

Therapy can be started 6-8 weeks after endoscopic disc surgery.

In the case of standard surgical procedures, therapy should not start until at least three months after surgery and only after prior consultation with the surgeon. Three international studies have shown that surgical outcomes can be significantly improved if Medical Strengthening Therapy is done after surgery in order to build up the strength of lumbar extensors.
