VSI®’s award-winning team of medical specialists
Recovery Revolution™ combines advanced surgery, holistic therapies and proven protocols, validated in a 50,000-patient study, to provide more effective and efficient recovery.
RESTON, Va., Oct. 16, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — VSI® is proud to introduce The Recovery Revolution™, a data-driven, patient-centered model that reimagines what recovery should look like before, during and after spine surgery. Recovery Revolution sets a new gold standard for spinal care, ensuring patients are well prepared for surgery and fully supported in their return to life.
The Recovery Revolution is a pioneering movement that places recovery at the center of surgical decisions. The foundation combines proven research, cutting-edge technology, expert surgical techniques, integrated tools and therapies, and personalized care from start to finish.
“At VSI, recovery is proactively planned before the procedure even begins and supported long afterward,” says Dr. Christopher Good, president and CEO of VSI. “Globally, recovery has been treated as an afterthought, leaving patients anxious and unprepared. At VSI, we take the opposite approach. We design personalized recovery plans that begin with pre-surgical education and preparation, and extend that care long after surgery with integrative therapies that accelerate healing and reduce pain. This is what The Recovery Revolution™ is all about: Empower patients from day one with the tools, support and confidence they deserve, to achieve the results they want. I wish.”
VSI’s unique therapies optimize recovery far beyond what standard hospital protocols provide, including aquatic therapy, hyperbaric oxygen therapy, laser and shockwave therapy, massage therapy, functional exercise, physical therapy, dry needling, blood flow restriction, acupuncture and more.
“At VSI, we have studied thousands of spine surgery cases across the country and the pattern is clear: patients who have structured and supported recovery plans heal faster, have fewer complications, and report less pain,” explains Dr. Colin Haines, spine surgeon and director of research at VSI. “Patients thrive when they are given clear, practical tools to manage recovery and when they discover therapies that make them feel less like ‘surgical cases’ and more like whole people again.”
Recovery investigation
VSI spine surgeons led one of the largest national studies of its kind, which revealed that a more comprehensive, patient-centered approach to spine surgery recovery can lead to faster healing, reduced pain, and fewer complications. The research, which analyzed the results of more than 50,000 thoracolumbar spinal fusion cases performed by 1,352 surgeons at 138 centers in the U.S., validates the effectiveness of the VSI Enhanced Surgical Recovery (ESR) program.
