Post-Operative Shoulder Surgery Rehabilitation
Recovery After Shoulder Surgery
Shoulder surgery (rotator cuff repair, labral repair, shoulder replacement, stabilization) demands meticulous post-operative rehabilitation to protect the repair and restore function. The shoulder has high demands for mobility and stability, requiring a careful, progressive approach.
Our specialized physiotherapy program follows evidence-based protocols, progressing cautiously through protection, mobilization, strengthening, and return to activity phases. We ensure complete healing while regaining full shoulder function for your daily and recreational activities.
