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.
