Physical therapy is standard after most major surgeries. Recovery time is dependent on several factors, including the how long you’ve had the injury and if you participated in pre-surgery physical therapy. Other factors include how invasive was the surgical procedure, what structures were repaired, as well as your general health and (to some degree) your own genetics.

Regardless of the above factors, our goal in all physical therapy is to move you through the 3 phases of healing as quickly as possible; from the initial post-surgical inflammatory state and protection of the surgical site to restoration of normal strength, mobility and function thus getting you back to your previous lifestyle as efficiently as possible.
