After surgery, recovery is not only about time passing. It also depends on how you move, how much effort you apply, and whether your progression is well structured.
Early phases usually focus on swelling control, protected mobility, and reducing compensations. Later stages target strength, stability, and tolerance for specific tasks.
A structured rehab process helps reduce fear of movement and supports a clearer return to daily activities instead of improvising based on symptoms alone.
Key takeaways
Respect the recovery phases
Do not rush load progression
Follow-up helps prevent compensations
