How Long Should Physical Therapy Take?
How long will physical therapy take is a common question asked by many patients. Although the question itself is a simple one, the answer is much more difficult.
Unfortunately there is no correct answer to this question. Each person is different, and thus an individual's rate of healing is also different. It may take one person only three days to walk one hundred feet after knee surgery, however a patient who had surgery on the same day may need five days to reach the same distance. This is due to the variation in pain perception, motivation, and healing rate we each have.
Rather than setting a date to complete therapy, set various goals that you would like to achieve during your rehabilitation program. Make this your focus, not time! Reward yourself for achieving these goals, regardless of the time taken to reach them.
