Frequently Asked Questions
Rehab should not be painful. If you experience any pain during rehab, you should inform your physical therapist so they can adjust the program or make other modifications to ensure your safety and comfort.
The timeline for physical therapy after surgery will depend on the type of surgery you had and your individual recovery needs. Generally, physical therapy should begin within one to two weeks after surgery.
If you don’t do physical therapy after surgery, your recovery may take longer, and you may also be at risk of developing complications from the surgery. Physical therapy helps to reduce pain, increase mobility and strength, and return you to your pre-surgery activities more quickly.
