Back rehabilitation

Stages of spine rehabilitation

The course of restorative gymnastics for the rehabilitation of the spine after injury or hernia removal is a multi-stage process consisting of three main stages:

• initial - exercises performed at this stage of the rehabilitation process are designed to improve blood supply and conduction of nerve impulses in parts of the spine that have undergone trauma or surgery. They are aimed at eliminating breathing disorders and unloading the spine. At this stage, simulators are not used, but it lasts about a month;
• the restorative stage, aimed at forming the muscle frame, eliminating pain and improving the work of the central nervous system, heart and blood vessels. This stage can take from 2 to 6 months depending on the physical condition of the person. Exercises at this stage can already be performed on various simulators, but the load on the back should be minimal;
• the stage of permanent compensation, designed for 2-3 months of classes. At this stage, a set of exercises is provided, aimed at building muscle mass, getting rid of residual symptoms and restoring the functions of the problem area of the back. To prevent recurrence of the disease or complications at this stage, it is important to avoid excessive loads on the spine.

After completing the back rehabilitation course, you will feel like a practically healthy person. But until the final recovery, it is worth continuing to visit the gym 1 time a week, training on special simulators for the back as a preventive measure.
