P. Therapist: As a PT you know not everyone is created the same way and each person has different periods of recovery based on their overall health picture including their weight, any underlying co-morbid medical conditions, and overall rehab potential. Your Dr., with an examination and knowledge of your overall health, would be able to best tell you when to go back to work without restrictions. Best wishes.
