Quote:I was done both times by Heekin orthopedic who have done a lot of pro athletes.

 

There is a lot more to it than just physical healing.

 

You have to completely regain all the flexibility in the joint that has suffered from atrophy and scar tissue growth from being kept immobile for 6-12 weeks. Just moving it is painful and extremely limited in range for months.

 

Then their is rebuilding the strength in the joint which can literally take months before it can support your own body weight much less regain the strength of a professional athlete.

 

Then their is the psychological aspect of dealing with a painful and traumatic injury and the natural tendency to be avoident of situations similar to those of the injury.

This I Understand. I was cared for by the Jax Orthepedic Institute, (The Official Orthepedic care givers of the Jaguars). As a matter of fact, my doctor is the Senior Orthepedic Specialist to which the Jaguars are cared for...


The Difference is the Rehab. I definately didn't have the post rehab treatment that Pro Players do...


So, you see that even though any of our Orthopedic Specialist's operational procedures, it's the 24/7 Rehab that truly matters...
