Bundled post-surgery lodging, family logistics, and a six-step recovery timeline — coordinated by CuraVita so international patients can focus entirely on getting stronger.
Every CuraVita stay is matched to your procedure, mobility level, and family size — see the full luxury recovery options.
Ground-floor, single-level suites with accessible bathrooms, hospital-grade beds, and 24/7 caregiver access. Ideal for the first 7–14 days post-op when mobility is limited.
Multi-bedroom waterfront villas with separate companion quarters, full kitchens, and quiet outdoor space. Designed for patients travelling with spouse, children, or extended family.
Step-free interiors, walk-in showers, and wide doorways for patients with temporary mobility restrictions. Pre-arranged wheelchair-accessible transport to every follow-up.
Your family does not have to figure Miami out alone. We coordinate childcare, companion activities, and ground transport through our vetted family support and travel & transport partners.
Vetted, bilingual in-home childcare so accompanying parents can attend follow-up appointments with full attention. Background-checked sitters with pediatric first-aid certification.
Curated Miami experiences for accompanying family members — beach time, dining reservations, and cultural outings — that respect your rest windows and proximity to your lodging.
Pre-arranged medical sedan service for every appointment, plus family-friendly vehicles for errands and outings. Drivers are HIPAA-aware and familiar with each surgical center.
CuraVita anchors your Miami stay around these milestones. For a deeper look, see our full spine surgery recovery timeline guide.
Most patients begin standing and walking short distances within 24 hours. Length of hospital stay typically ranges from same-day discharge (for some minimally invasive procedures) to 2–4 days for more complex procedures.
Pain and incision healing are the priority. Most patients transition from prescription to over-the-counter pain medication during this period. Rest and short, frequent walks are typical.
Most patients have a follow-up appointment around two weeks. Walking distances typically increase; lifting restriction (usually nothing over 5–10 lb) and no bending or twisting remain in place.
Structured physical therapy usually starts around weeks 4–6, once the surgeon confirms healing is on track. Early PT focuses on range of motion and core stabilization. Many patients return to desk work by this point.
Most patients are back to desk work, driving without restrictions in many cases, and light exercise by month three. Strengthening PT continues; high-impact activity still requires surgeon clearance.
Six months is a typical functional-recovery milestone. Most patients have resumed low-impact exercise and daily activities. Bone graft consolidation (in fusion cases) continues beyond this point — varies by case.

Your recovery stay is one piece. The other pieces are the surgical plan, the surgeon, and the cost conversation — start with the spine surgery hub.
