Hi Jenni4,
right from the outset I was told by Dr Zeegers not to do physical therapy or physiotherapy until after six weeks. Even then the physical therapy had to be extremely gentle as did the physiotherapy.
One of the biggest problem is that, people do go much too quickly once the pain from their spines has diminished.
I've always said
"slow and steady wins this race" and it's true.
Why try and rush a few weeks or three or four months when you're building a platform for the rest of your life?
Best,
Alastair
