Why does my rehab look different from that guy’s?

 

The following factors make your rehab protocol unique:

  • Procedure - bone or soft tissue, muscle or ligament splitting, open vs arthroscopic

  • Capsule/bone/cartilage involvement

  • Repair vs reconstruction

  • Number of repairs

  • Your goals

  • Surgeon and Physio preferences

  • Pain and coping skills

  • Age

  • Quality of repaired tissue

  • Pre-surgery level of function

  • Comorbidities or other injuries

This is why no two recoveries are alike! Your journey is your own so comparing is pointless.
