Expectations for post major back surgery recovery?

Hi there, this video
demonstrates the seated hamstring exercise similar to what I do. I thought it might be helpful to have to share with your physical therapist to gain his or her opinion as to whether it something you can do, and at at what point in time.


Have a great therapy session!

Thanks. I'll give it s shot this afternoon. I'm on a restricted B,L,T, (bending, lifting, twisting) for my first 3 months of recovery, but the video showed it didn't taken much forward bending to get the stretch...wait a second...just tried it...and I hardly had to lean forward at all before I started feeling a solid sciatica/hamstring stretch on my affected side. Another exercise to include on my list. Thanks again....

If you think it's going to be good, or if you think it will be bad, you're right. Trying to have the right attitude is probably 50% of having a successful recovery.
