“Can physical therapy help my child's recovery from appendectomy?”
I want to find ways to help my daughter recover from her appendectomy at the end of the month. Her doctor thinks that physical therapy might be a good place to start to help her regain strength. Do you think we should consider it? She's 14.

Usually just normal activity at home is enough. Avoid letting her lay on the sofa or the bed all day. It doesn't seem to make sense, but getting up and doing activities around the house will actually help her recover faster.
PT cannot hurt.
