It can improve still. 3-18months until you stop improving I've seen put out by leading surgeon. Seen reports from people who have slowly improved up to 2 years espescially with facet symptoms (which seem to be very common with adr).
One thing I've found with this plastic widget in my back, muscular control become critical.. it can go places it shouldn't and will, mostly due to severance of anterior ligament.. my spine can go way into extension it couldnt before. Post-surgery body was completely shot, had no idea where it needed to be, but the proprioception is slowly coming back with work. Im about 7 months and heaps better than I was at 3 or 4.. was a mess.
Pilates is a very good starting point for retraining your body in this manner if you dont have any access to physio. Just remember a bad teacher will cause more confusion and pain, only way to suss that out is have a go.
