Looking at C4-C5 fusion, on Evenity first for osteopenia

Just curious, but what kind of physical therapy can help in a situation like yours? I've had 2 separate spinal fusion procedures done on my neck, first at the C5-C6 level, and 18 months later at the C7-T1 level. They were both done through my throat without any swallowing issues, and I don't remember if physical therapy was even offered, but they were done in late 2016 and Fall of 2018, so it's been a while.

@mrmacabre , 2 months in a neck brace and ACDF surgery left me with stiff and sore shoulders, neck and back muscles. Rehab was is a series of stretching exercises and daily walks to improve and maintain leg strength and balance. After a year of getting back to my life of gardening, house repairs, farm work both the neck and shoulders have all improved a lot as it relates to being stiff and sore. Other than that I"m just living my life with only a slight decrease in peripheral range and slightly more lost when it comes to looking up.
