Therapy start dates range from next day to weeks. Depends on the type of surgery and what repairs are done. Moving muscle attachments or re-attaching requires a lot of non movement while the repair area heals. Many rotator cuff and partial replacements allow for PT right away. I have a friend who is not paying attention to the doc's orders and has had his sling time extended another 8 weeks. That's unnecessary.
