Surgery has been done – what must I do now?
	Start exercising as soon as possible! Even if this is small movements and a little at a time... every hour or so. Your physiotherapist will give you advice on what to do. Regular deep breathing helps control the pain and indirectly assists in facilitating movement. This is also very important to reduce the risk of certain post operative complications! Manage your pain! – Do not hold out till later... The success of your surgery depends largely on your own cooperation and aftercare! Consult a physiotherapist! – There are multiple structures involved that need attention... joints, nerves, muscles and connective tissue.
