For physical therapists & patients
Post-op instructions, by procedure.
Dr. Hughes’s rehabilitation protocols, available as downloadable PDFs to guide recovery after surgery. Physical therapists are encouraged to reference the protocol specific to each patient’s procedure.
A note on these protocols: each document reflects Dr. Hughes’s standard post-operative progression. Individual instructions provided at surgery or in clinic always take precedence. Questions about a specific patient’s progression should be directed to the office.
