What can cause it

  • Ligament reconstructions
  • Tendon repairs
  • Fractures
  • Spinal surgery

How we treat it

  • Collaboration with the surgeon and respect for protocols
  • Progression through measurable goals
  • Guided return to work and sport

You'll receive a clear plan with the recovery phases and the goals of each one.

How to prevent it

  • Pre-habilitation when surgery is planned
