Hello, I am new to these forums although I have “lurked” around a bit, reading many content threads of interest since joining. This title caught my attention as I know exercise/movement is the single most important aspect of living with 2 spine fusions. ‘Motion is Life’s Lotion’ is a phrase my neurosurgeon used bluntly, telling me “not adhering to an exercise regimen will contribute heavily to your failure to achieve maximum functional recovery.” I’m not the smartest guy in the room but at 65, have learned (1), seek out & listen to certified experts and (2), experience is what you get when you didn’t get what you wanted SO LEARN from it. Great article & I wish you all success in managing & living with your respective ailments.
