Addessa,
This is the type of question that should be answered by your surgeon's office. You went to her because you trust her. You need her to provide follow-up care... hopefully you don't need her for too much longer though.
You need to find out what she recommends and if it's reasonable... follow it. Then you have to deal with difficulties associated with varying treatments possible from different therapists from the same prescription. Unless you are a professional athelete... don't let anyone hurt you. "no pain no gain" has no place in rehab for a recent fusion patient. Ramp up slowly, then try to build your core strength to protect yourself in the future. Work with your docs... work with your therapists... the patient community can be useful... but this is a question for your medical team!
Good luck... keep us posted. All the best,
Mark
