My kid ( he was a football player) is not a swimmer had Capsulorraphy (sp?) shoulder surgery at the end of May. He had to wear a sling 24/7 for four weeks. He began Physical Therapy at the end of June.
Went to his last visit with the surgeon on Aug.2. Was told he was doing well and did not need to continue PT. Said he could do anything he wanted but to proceed with caution…gradually work back into things…don’t go overboard right off the bat. No contact sports for 6 months post surgery. May take up to a yr. to return to full strength depending on how much effort he puts into it.
