Early mobilization and rehabilitation after scoliosis surgery:
Key to speedy recovery

Immediately after surgery, our goal is to encourage patients to mobilize as early as possible. This can occur within a few hours of the procedure, depending on the patient's condition and the recommendations of the treating team. Early mobilization helps improve blood circulation, reduce the risk of complications such as thrombosis, and preserve the function of the musculoskeletal system.

During postoperative rehabilitation, we attach great importance to promoting the independence of our patients. This includes training in how to properly perform exercises and activities of daily living, adapting to any limitations after surgery, and developing coping strategies to deal with pain and discomfort.

We offer comprehensive rehabilitation programs specifically tailored to the needs of patients following scoliosis surgery. These programs include a variety of therapeutic interventions, including physical therapy, muscle strengthening exercises, gait analysis, and functional training. Our experienced therapy team works closely with each patient to develop an individualized rehabilitation plan that addresses their specific needs and goals.

In addition to physical therapy, we also provide occupational therapy to help our patients manage everyday tasks and activities. Our occupational therapists work closely with patients to understand their individual needs and help them improve their skills and promote independence. This may include adapting work and home environments, using assistive devices and techniques to control pain.

Physical therapy plays an important role in promoting recovery and restoring functionality after scoliosis surgery. Our experienced physical therapists use a variety of techniques and modalities to improve mobility, reduce pain, and optimize muscle function. Through targeted exercises and therapies, we help our patients regain their strength and endurance and bring their body back into balance.

Our support does not end with the completion of postoperative rehabilitation. We provide our patients with long-term care and support to ensure they can achieve their recovery goals and maintain a good quality of life over the long term. This may include regular follow-up appointments, further advice and support in dealing with possible long-term effects of scoliosis surgery.
