Postoperative Rehabilitation (Post-Op)

postoperative rehabilitation  
While surgery may repair the damaged tissue or improve the alignment of the spine, the first step in solving the problem, our Post-Op Rehabilitation Program will help ensure the restoration of normal function.  We offer rehabilitation for you if you have undergone any of the following procedures:
   

Spinal fusion for adolescent idiopathic scoliosis 

Vertebral body tethering (VBT) or vertebral pedicular tethering (VPT) for scoliosis

Cervical discectomy or fusion in patients with scoliosis

Selective lumbar fusion for adult onset scoliosis

Kyphoplasty

Laminectomy

 

 

 

 

 

 

In addition to reducing the swelling and scarring that result from surgery, we are interested in helping you achieve the correct alignment of repaired tissues and restoring normal mobility for lifelong results.  Our post-op treatments combine hands-on techniques, modified Schroth method techniques, and nonimpact Pilates exercises with the spine in neutral to enhance more rapid recovery and performance. 

Initial evaluation, 60 min: $150

Treatment session, 2 hours: $120/hour 

 
Following scoliosis surgery, we offer complete physical therapy services only after healing is complete.  We utilize Schroth-based exercises with modifications that will address the trunk imbalances above and below the surgical area, helping to maximize the symmetrical forces in the spine.  For questions call us at 305-428-2790 or refer to our Inquiry Form.
