Rehabilitation

Post-surgical care goes beyond pain relief and strives to achieve optimal spinal function through retraining of postural awareness, muscle activation patterns, improving flexibility and the overcoming of fear avoidance behaviors that are not uncommonly seen in post operative patients.

The Neurosurgical Department at Riverhills Healthcare has developed its post-surgical rehabilitation to insure a seamless transition and clinical match between the type of surgery performed and the type of rehabilitation best suited for that surgery, and individualized to the patients occupational and lifestyle demands.

Having our rehabilitation suite on site allows our physicians and exercise therapists to collaborate on those patients requiring a higher level of direct supervision.
