Definitely. In my opinion, PT is a must after and ortho surgery especially hip replacement. you will be weak in the leg and muscles they cut during the surgery, have guided personalized treatment to get you strong and balanced again can help prevent problems in the future and get you back to being active.

Two months is a long time for a minor muscle strain to still be causing painespecially with full range of motion restored. Heres what might be going on and what to consider Possible Reasons for Ongoing Pain Incomplete healing Continued use at work may be aggravating the tissue before it's fully healed. Tendon involvement Biceps tendonitis or a partial tear can cause persistent shoulder pain. Compensation strain Other muscles like rotator cuff or deltoid may be overworked due to compensation. Joint irritation Shoulder pain could be from secondary issues like impingement or inflammation. What You Can Do Get it evaluated A physical therapist or sports medicine provider can assess whether it's muscle, tendon, or jointrelated. Targeted rehab Gentle strengthening and mobility exercises specific to the biceps and shoulder stabilizers can help. Modify workload If possible, reduce overhead or repetitive lifting temporarily. Ice and antiinflammatory care If it's flaring up after work, ice and NSAIDs like ibuprofen can help. Watch for red flags If pain worsens, or you get weakness, cramping, or a bulge in the arm biceps rupture, get medical attention quickly. Healing Timeline A mild biceps strain can resolve in 26 weeks. Tendon involvement or ongoing strain from work can stretch recovery to 36 months if not managed. Bottom line It's worth getting a professional assessment to rule out tendon injury or joint involvement and to get a proper recovery plan. Early intervention prevents longterm problems.

Of course. Posture is generally an awareness issue. However, Many people don't even know where to start with "how to hold their body." Our habits, sleeping, standing and sitting positions cause us to become tight in some of our joints/muscle and weak in others. We then compensate with our posture and movement causing micro injuries that can eventually cause pain. A posture and movement assessment from a Physical Therapist can show you where you are compensating and give your advice and exercises to fix it.

For sure! Shoulder impingement, especially at it's early stages, is most likely due to a muscle imbalance than can be improved with the proper exercises, manual therapy and movement training.
