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.

As soon as possible
His physiotherapy should begin right away. As soon as he is able to tolerate staying awake and being up for any length of time.
