Yes - very important to start therapy right away to prevent any calcifications or bone spurs or adhesions. Often times because of pain after surgery, we tend to guard muscles - but with therapy, you will feel secure using those muscles. Also physical therapy will be beneficial for pain reduction.

A good recommendation. Everybody heals differently. A PT can do an evaluation. As well as an occupational therapist. Sent from my Verizon, Samsung Galaxy smartphone Get Outlook for Android<https://aka.ms/AAb9ysg>

Im most cases your surgeon will direct your physical therapy after surgery. Each type of surgery has its own post operative rehabilitation course. I would recommend speaking with your surgeon about the type of surgery and rehabilitation course that will follow.
