REHABILITATION PROGRAMME
Surgery is only half the story. This is the exact, physio-led recovery pathway Mr Mitra follows with his own patients — so you know what to do at every stage to get back to full strength.
This is a general guide for rotator cuff repair recovery. Your personal programme will be tailored to you at your consultation — always follow the specific advice given by Mr Mitra and your physiotherapist.
