Recovery roadmap with PT team

Be informed

What patients should realistically expect

Recovery is progressive

Most soft-tissue injuries improve over 4–8 weeks with PT.

Surgery is rarely first choice

Conservative care is tried before surgical referral when safe.

We deliberately avoid success-rate claims. Outcomes vary — your doctor will give you a personalised view.
