How Long Do You Do Therapy After a Shoulder Replacement Surgery?

I typically recommend about four months, after shoulder replacement surgery.

That gets you all through the strengthening phases. Some people go for six months or a little longer, but we typically recommend around four months.

We’ve got some cool stuff where we can do virtual therapy—you’re doing everything from home. So, just like I’m talking on an iPhone, you’d be doing the same thing with your therapist. They would show you your exercises and then watch you do them. An app on your phone tracks it, and this is pretty awesome.

You can do it from anywhere in the world from home. But we typically recommend around four months of interaction with the therapist and continued exercise for the rest of your life to keep everything strong and fit.

Experienced, skilled, and focused on your recovery. Choose Dr. Kruse for your shoulder surgery. Call us at (469) 717-4674 for an appointment.
