Shower Aids for Spinal Surgery Recovery

Staying clean without twisting, bending, or overreaching is a challenge after fusion surgery — especially in the first few weeks. These are the tools that made showering safer, easier, and more comfortable for me after both my lumbar and cervical fusions.

💡 Tip: Set up your shower space before surgery so it’s ready when you get home.

🪑  Shower Chair / Stool

A must-have, especially in the first few weeks when standing for too long can cause dizziness or fatigue.
