Michael has been a vital partner to help me overcome injuries and identify areas of weakness. He constantly assesses and adapts interventions to encourage recovery. The stretch, glide, manipulate, and dry needling techniques have helped keep me active.

My time with Dr Derry was worth every penny. After suffering with pain from a car accident almost 4 years ago Physical Therapy was the key to increasing my strength and decreasing my pain. Dr Derry worked with my crazy working mom schedule and traveled to both my home and place of business. I highly recommend Dr Derry.

-Jill M.

Dr. Derry was extremely helpful with developing my in-home program. My back is much better than it was a couple of weeks ago. He gets to know what your goals are, then works on a individual plan with you. Very good experience!

The Truth About Back Surgery Recovery

Many people underestimate how important pre-surgery conditioning and post-surgery rehabilitation are for successful outcomes. Research shows that patients who maintain strength and mobility before surgery recover faster and have better long-term results.

This program addresses the unique challenges faced by back surgery patients - the need to build strength while being gentle on healing tissues, the importance of hip mobility for spinal support, and the confidence that comes from safe, proven exercises.

These 5 exercises use pole or counter support to ensure safety while targeting the key areas that support your spine. You'll work on hip flexibility, functional strength, and movement patterns that directly translate to daily activities and recovery success.

Whether you're preparing for upcoming surgery or recovering from a recent procedure, these exercises provide the foundation for optimal healing and long-term spine health.
