Yes
What kind of surgery and why? Shoulder pain? rotator cuff tear? habitual shoulder dislocation? others? First consideration is whether surgery is really indicated or a right choice of treatment. Surgery is a wrong thing to do for shoulder pain, rotator cuff tear or habitual dislocation! All these conditions come from soft tissue injury (muscle/fascia strain), not from "tear" of rotator cuff, and should not be treated with surgery. To recover with no more pain, the mechanically strained tissue must be mechanically released. Surgery adds another surgical trauma without actually resolving the injury. Post-operative physical therapy aggravates and adds even more injury. The only effective treatment is done internally by the body itself via light touch, i.e., Touch-and-Hold of The Precision Method, to initiate self-healing. It usually takes 1-2 hours to recover. This is detailed in my book "NO MORE PAIN All Pain Considered - A Breakthrough". Please visit my website: NoMorePainClinic.com.
