Occupational Therapy Tips After Back Surgery

Recovering from back surgery means protecting your spine at all costs:
No bending,
No lifting,
No twisting.

The infamous B.L.T spinal precautions.

Even simple daily tasks like getting dressed need a safe strategy. Here’s how Occupational Therapy (OT) helps you stay independent while healing:

👕 Upper Body Dressing:
• Sit in a stable chair or on the edge of the bed with back support.
• Slip the weaker or more limited arm into the sleeve first, then the stronger arm.
• Keep movements slow and avoid twisting your torso when pulling shirts overhead.

👖 Lower Body Dressing:
• Use a long-handled reacher to pull pants or underwear up over your legs.
• A sock aid helps you put on socks without bending forward.
• A long-handled shoehorn makes it easier to slide into shoes without straining.

🛠️ Helpful Tools to Stay Safe:
• Dressing stick
• Reacher/grabber
• Sock aid
• Long-handled shoehorn

💡 Pro Tip: Always dress the operated or weaker side first. This reduces strain and keeps you in control.

At Caruth Home Health, our OTs & COTAs teach these techniques hands-on, making sure you can return to daily life safely and confidently.

Independence after surgery isn’t just possible,
it’s essential.

It may not be on the headlines.
But ask any home health clinician and they’ll tell you:
Too many of our elders spend days without a single meaningful interaction.
No call.
No knock.
No eye contact.

That’s where we show up.

Not just to check and manage your meds, document on our tablets, or just go through our routines,
We come with stories, smiles, and a wholesome presence.

At Caruth Home Health, we’re not just checking vitals.
We’re restoring value. Dignity. And connection.

Because science shows:
Social isolation is as dangerous as high blood pressure, diabetes, or heart failure.
But the system doesn’t treat it that way.

We do.

We are the heartbeat behind every healed joint, every recovered breath, every renewed sense of worth.

This isn’t just healthcare. This is human care.
And it matters. Every. Single. Visit.

Because no one should feel invisible in their own home.

Hey You, You Don’t Have to Hurt in Silence.

Opioid addiction is real.
The fear is real.
The solution is within reach.

One of the biggest fears patients share with us every day isn’t the pain itself,
It’s the fear of becoming dependent on the pills prescribed to treat it.

In the U.S., over 2.7 million people live with opioid use disorder today.

In Maryland alone, over 2,000 lives were lost to opioid-related overdoses in 2023.

That’s more than 5 people every single day.
It starts with pain, and ends in silence, stigma, and loss.

But we believe there’s another way.
At Caruth Home Health, we refuse to let pain meds be the only answer.

Less meds. More moments.
We restore strength, function, and quality of life through
• Evidence-based physical therapy
• Compassionate home-based care
• Holistic pain management
• Emotional and social support systems

We don’t just show up.
We lift up.
We heal differently.
We heal intentionally.

Because healing shouldn’t come with a hidden cost.
Your story isn’t over.
There is another path.
A better path.
And we’re walking it with you.

2️⃣ How does home care work?

Once a referral or authorization for home health is received, a clinician is assigned to perform an initial evaluation.

Many home health services are covered 100% by Medicare, Medicaid, and most private insurances if deemed medically necessary. We verify your benefits before starting care so there are no surprises. For clients who pay privately, we offer competitive rates and flexible plans.

4️⃣ What is the criteria to be on home health
care?

To qualify for home health, you typically need to:
✔️ Be under a physician’s care
✔️ Require skilled services (like PT, OT, or nursing)
✔️ Be considered “homebound” (difficulty leaving home without assistance)
Even if you’re unsure, we can help determine if you or your loved one meets the requirements.

5️⃣ What are the benefits of using home health care services?

They Want to Stay Home. We Help Make That Possible.

When COVID hit, we saw who really showed up.
Hospitals scrambled. Nursing homes shut down.
But home health clinicians stepped up, masked up, gloved up, and walked into homes when no one else could.

That wasn’t just a moment.
It was a movement.

Since the pandemic, hospitals and families have realized something powerful:
With the right team, care at home isn’t just possible, it’s better.

But let’s be honest.
Home care isn’t the best fit for everyone.

If someone needs 24/7 supervision, advanced memory care, or can’t be safely left alone due to cognitive or mobility concerns, a skilled nursing facility is the right call.

But for everyone else?
Choosing home is choosing dignity. Familiarity. Empowerment.

✅ Recovery at home = lower stress
✅ Personalized care plans
✅ Loved ones stay close
✅ No loud call bells or shared rooms

Nike says: Just Do It.
GaryVee says: “Empathy always wins.”

At Caruth, we say: Choose Home. Choose YOU.
Because healing happens best where you feel safe.

Find out why 9 out of 10 older adults want to age at home.

3 Mistakes to Avoid After a Total Knee Replacement-
(From our therapists who do this every day helping our customers get their lives back)

1️⃣ Skipping your exercises – Motion is lotion. If you don’t move, scar tissue will.
So your surgeon did the repair, but you must now DO the work to build up your strength. Every missed set means a slower recovery.

2️⃣ Pushing too hard, too soon – Pain is a guide, not a badge of honor.
We do not subscribe to “No pain, no gain.” More is not always better. Push smart, not reckless.

3️⃣ Ignoring swelling and icing – Recovery isn’t just about strength; it’s about smart healing. Although swelling is one of the last symptoms to go after a joint replacement, swelling and pain can tell you something’s wrong.
Don’t ignore it—address it early.

Our Caruth therapists come to you.
We customize your plan for your home, your needs, your life.
We keep you accountable and safe.

We give you a clear plan and we keep you informed every step of the way.

Because the best recovery happens when you feel in control.

REAL TALK

Your mom, your dad, your favorite aunt… they’re not “just clumsy.” They’re at risk.

Every 11 seconds, a senior is in the ER from a fall. Not because they’re careless, because no one trained them how to move safely at home.
That’s where we come in.

Let me put it this way:
If your phone drops, you panic.
If your elder falls, you downplay it.
STOP THAT.

Because that fall? It could be the beginning of a heartbreaking decline… or a completely preventable event.

At Caruth Home Health, we’re not just showing up with tablets.
We’re coaching, guiding, and EMPOWERING older adults to STAY STEADY, STAY INDEPENDENT, and STAY ALIVE.

We teach them:
✔️ How to fall
✔️ How to get back up
✔️ How to trust their body again

See the picture and let it punch you in the gut. Because that’s someone’s mother down there.
