Massage and Yoga: It is very wise to get some massage when you are recovering from major trauma to muscles and tendons. I often also recommend yoga as a very good strength training activity with good postural stretching.

It can't hurt: As long as the massage therapist is not trying to manipulate the joint then a massage should not be able to hurt the surgical repair. Talk to your surgeon if you have specific questions.
