Recovering from shoulder surgery involves managing pain, reducing swelling, and gradually restoring mobility and strength. At Eagle Physical Therapy and Wellness in Conyers, GA, we specialize in personalized rehabilitation programs.
Immediate Post-Surgery Care: – Use a sling for support and minimize shoulder movement initially. – Apply ice packs and take prescribed medications to reduce swelling and pain.
Physical Therapy: – Begins a few days after surgery with passive exercises to improve range of motion. – Progresses to active exercises to strengthen shoulder muscles.
Therapy Techniques: – Alternate between heat and cold therapy to manage symptoms effectively.
Monitoring and Progress: – Regular therapist appointments ensure your recovery is on track. – Adjustments to your regimen may occur based on progress.
Return to Activities: – Gradually resume daily activities under therapist guidance. – Avoid overburdening the shoulder.
