Mike Restores His Range of Motion After Back Surgery
Once his hips flexed freely and his upper back was relaxed, we trained him how to bend at his hips while keeping his back straight and relaxed, as when picking something up or getting in and out of a chair. Though the motion we taught did not feel normal to him, Mike admitted that it did not hurt and found it to be an easier way to move. After about six or seven squats, we noticed he started to bend his back slightly. It can take a lot of focus to keep your back straight while doing squats, but with enough practice and repetition, it became easier. Just by slowing down, going through each motion deliberately, and staying focused, Mike was able to do two sets of twenty squats without increasing his back pain! We told him it would take a couple hundred repetitions over a couple of weeks before these motions would start to feel normal. Then, it will take another 300–400 repetitions before it became automatic or natural. Easy to do in less than a month. As Mike continued to recover from his surgery, he used the tools we gave him and he was able to train his body to move better — and he reported that his back felt great once again!
Mike came to us after a back surgery, where he had several small tumors removed that had been painfully pressing up against his spine. However, following the surgery, he couldn’t move the way he used to. And of course, his doctor told him no bending, lifting, or twisting. When Mike came in for physical therapy, we told him we would help him to be able to bend, lift, and twist once again. The doctor did exactly what he was supposed to do for the tumors in Mike’s back — however, the surgeon did not have the techniques or tools to help Mike regain his previous range of motion. This is exactly what physical therapy is for! We eased into it by using some simple techniques to restore his hip flexion. Then we taught Mike to hold his knee to his chest to use the hip flexion motion he had gained (tool No. 1). We then turned our attention to his middle and upper back and used techniques to ensure that he had full motion at all of the spinal segments above the area of his surgery with normal and relaxed muscle tone. We had him lie on his side and gently twist as far as he could without any pain, repeatedly (tool No. 2). He did these tools at least three times a day.
