Patients recovering from both fixative and motion-preserving spine surgery require intensive rehabilitation to fast-track their return to mobility. In most cases the spinal joints and supporting tissues have been damaged and dysfunctional for many years, and must be mobilised and programmed to work properly again.
Medicos Aufschalke provides the perfect integration of Physiotherapists, Chiropractors, Personal Trainers and Sport Physicians (MD) to ensure results driven collaboration. After surgery the Spine Rehab Protocol begins with biological Phase 1 outpatient rehabilitation for 7-14 days. This involves full days of focused therapies including but not limited to:
Lymphatic drainage
Physiotherapy
Medical training therapy
Deep tissue massage
Electrotherapy
Wound management
Ergo therapy
Chief Physician visit
The intensive protocol and ongoing Phases allow patients to recover at their own pace and can be customised daily, with take-home programs to ensure seamless transition to ongoing guidance with a physical therapist at home. Our mission is to ensure patients are moving confidently and without assistance, so they can fly home and return to a healthy lifestyle.
