What?physical therapy is required after lumbar laminectomy surgery?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Maybe, maybe not: If physical therapy is required after your surgery, slow stretching and strengthening exercises will be employed. Nothing too strenuous will be used. Those exercises to help you with activities of daily living and restoration of function is important.
