It’s important to recognize that post-surgical recovery isn’t just about managing pain or following follow-up appointments; it’s a multi-phase process that can last weeks. For example, after a knee replacement, patients typically go through an initial two-week period focused on mobility and wound care before transitioning into physical therapy. How do others approach this recovery phase in their practice?
Definitely agree about the mobility phase! After my shoulder surgery, I found that daily stretching really helped. How’s your hip getting on with therapy?

I’m right there with you on the mobility phase! After my knee surgery, I found that practicing stairs was a game changer — like training for an Olympics event! @cwhitson92, do you think stretching could have made the journey easier?
