A member asked:
Should i get physical therapy or muscle activation therapy following arthroscopic shoulder surgery?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Yes : You should follow post-surgery instructions which almost certainly would include physical therapy/rehabilitation. This is usually critical to getting back to optimal function. Your surgeon will refer you and you should follow the prescriptions from him and the rehab medicine specialists or physical therapists.
