In some cases you may be assessed shortly after surgery with a view to helping you to prepare for discharge home on the same day. You will also be expected to sit out into a chair for short periods from the first day after surgery. These do not prevent you from walking, although you may require some assistance initially.

You may have some attachments such as drips, catheter and drains. The physiotherapist will also teach you how to get out of bed and encourage you to begin walking. The physiotherapist will assess your limb movement and sensation, and will teach you a series of exercises (which are described later in this leaflet) to help you to get your neck moving. In most circumstances you will be reviewed by the physiotherapist on the first day after your surgery. If after reading this leaflet, you require further explanation please discuss this with a member of the Physiotherapy Team who has been treating you. This leaflet will provide you with information on the physiotherapy input you can expect after surgery. Your consultant spinal surgeon should have explained the operation procedure and the risks and benefits. It is not intended to replace discussion between you and your physiotherapist or spinal surgeon, but may act as a starting point for discussion. Most of your questions should be answered by this leaflet. This leaflet has been produced to give you information about how to care for your neck after surgery. Need some help choosing a language?
