Physical Therapy
During the first two weeks after surgery, we will ask you to complete a series of home exercises to improve pain and swelling to the shoulder. Roughly 2-3 weeks after your procedure, you will attend outpatient physical therapy to advance these exercises.
The Importance Of Attending OMGPT
Orthopaedic Medical Group offers physical therapy services in three locations. The teamwise approach we use in the office extends to our physical therapists. This means your surgeon can easily keep up with your progress after surgery and individualize your treatment plan to ensure the fastest recovery.
