After a lumbar spinal fusion has had 3 months of healing, it is time for physical activity and exercise to become a central component of the recovery process. Progress in daily activities is usually readily apparent at this stage, and many patients are already working with a physical therapist.

See Rehabilitation Following Lumbar Fusion[1]

In the earlier stages of the recovery process, vigorous exercise is not advised. However, due to the trauma of surgery, the patient’s trunk muscles, and overall condition become somewhat weakened. A loss of muscle tone and reduced range of motion leading to stiffness are common, which needs to be addressed with exercise and physical therapy.
