“When should my son start his physiotherapy?”
My son was in a long sedation due to pneumonia. He is now recovering and has just woken up. When should his physiotherapy start?

Physical therapy should be begun as soon as the patient is able to participate, even still in ICU. These days, some form of physical therapy is being initiated even in intubated patients and more extensive PT after the patient is able to participate. Check with your doctor for any concerns.
