Wondering if you can row after back surgery?

This question gets asked a lot in clinic.

You had some tingling in your leg, or maybe just serious back discomfort that wasn't going away. You went to the surgeon, they told you the only way to fix it is, surgery. So...you get the surgery...but now what?

First, hopefully the surgery helped and your pain has decreased. If not, please reach out to me or a physical therapist in your area...we can help! 

Second, yes, you can row! Many people row after back surgeries. Everyone is a little different on what they had done, what their symptoms were, and if the symptoms are gone or not, but this video covers a little bit about what you can do to get back to rowing and things to pay attention to that I commonly see.
