Yes, physical therapy is generally recommended after heel surgery. It plays a crucial role in your recovery, helping to restore strength, flexibility, and range of motion in your foot and ankle. The specific therapy regimen will depend on the type of surgery you have and your individual needs. It's important to consult with your surgeon and a physical therapist to develop a personalized post-surgery rehabilitation plan. Adhering to this plan can significantly enhance your healing process and overall outcome.
