Post‑operative Physiotherapy
Rehabilitation phases
- Protection (0–3/6 weeks): pain control, immobilization, guided passive mobilizations.
- Mobility (3–8 weeks): gradual recovery of ROM, pain‑free self‑exercises.
- Strengthening (8–16 weeks): scapular stabilizers and cuff work, proprioception.
Practical tips
- Follow surgical instructions and pain as a guide (no forcing).
- Ice 10–15 min after exercises if needed.
- Individual progression with your physiotherapist.
Return to activities
Returning to work, sports and overhead activities is gradual and validated by the surgical team according to the procedure and clinical progress.
