Swimming: Swimming with or without snorkel and zoomer fins, pilates stationary cycling eliptical without arms.Checkbwith surgeon ease back in to activity over a long time line a year slowly use pain as your guide pt and personal trainers can help I use a recumbent tricycle.Its easy on the human frame. I would recomend pilates over yoga avoid the cobra position the goal of surgery was a stiffer spine.

Almost any: If you recover from the surgery and the fusion heals, there are usually no real restrictions.
