Hello Checker, I am also from Ont. Canada, I had a 3 level ACDF in 2009, and once my neuro advised me that I could remove my collar was when my family dr okay PT, it would be good if you could afford to go once or twice just to make sure you are doing the exercises correctly. I was told thur my PT not to use the tens machine directly on the area of where the plate is situated, above/below or around the area only, something about the electros and the titanium does'nt mix.
Take care with your healing progress, your body needs it.
Good luck,
Bunz
