How do you determine when patients can resume massage therapy, weight lifting, or sports after a spontaneous CSF leak?
Answer from: at Academic Institution
I have seen cases where athletes return to intense activity too soon after a blood patch and have a repeat leak. There is guidance from Duke Health that I have used as a guideline when advising patients on resuming activity.
