Confident, structured rehabilitation after lumbar or cervical spine surgery — discectomy, decompression or fusion.
Spine surgery rehabilitation is one of the most nuanced areas in physiotherapy — done well, it gives outstanding results; done poorly, it risks re-injury.
Our protocols are tailored to your specific surgery (discectomy, decompression, fusion) and to your surgeon's preferences.
We work with leading spine surgeons across HN Reliance, Lilavati and Kokilaben — and follow their specific protocols precisely.
Different spine procedures need different rehab approaches.
Most common — graded return.
Multi-level laminectomy recovery.
Single or multi-level fusion.
Anterior or posterior approach.
ACDF & posterior fusion.
Minimally invasive recovery.
Older patients, careful loading.
Long programme, careful sequencing.
Persistent post-op symptoms.
Watch for these signs you need structured rehab — not 'just take it easy'.
Around the scar after a few weeks.
From pre-op symptoms not fully cleared.
Should be increasing weekly.
Common — but addressable.
A staged, surgeon-aligned pathway from hospital discharge back to your normal life.
We coordinate directly with your surgeon to understand the procedure and protocol.
Swelling control, gentle range of motion, early walking practice.
Progressive strength and endurance work tailored to your goals.
Return to driving, gym, sport, work — built around YOUR milestones.
A combined approach to control pain, restore movement and rebuild strength safely.
Gentle mobilisation to prevent adhesions.
Electrical modalities for post-op pain.
Photobiomodulation to speed healing.
When surgeon permits.
Walking pattern correction.
Bodyweight to weighted strength.
Where swelling is significant.
Outcome-driven discharge — no guesswork.
Why structured post-op rehab beats 'doing it at home from a handout'.
Structured rehab cuts recovery 30–40%.
Stronger, more mobile end result.
Reduce stiffness, weakness, chronic pain.
Walk, drive, climb stairs, gym.
No travel post-op.
Team approach with your surgeon.
From hospital discharge to full activity return — six clear stages.
Contact with your surgeon to confirm protocol.
Within 1–3 days post-op — assessment, pain control.
Swelling control, range of motion, walking practice.
Progressive loading, daily activities.
Return to gym, sport, driving, work.
Long-term programme to protect surgical outcome.
"L4-L5 fusion was scary. Juhu Physio guided me through every phase — week by week. 6 months on I'm walking, swimming and back to my desk job. Couldn't recommend them more."
