🧠 **FROZEN SHOULDER: HOW LONG DOES RECOVERY REALLY TAKE?**

Frozen shoulder (adhesive capsulitis) is painful, limiting, and frustrating. But it IS treatable.

The recovery timeline:
Phase 1 (Weeks 1-6): Pain management, gentle mobility
Phase 2 (Weeks 6-12): Active range of motion, light strengthening
Phase 3 (Weeks 12+): Full strengthening, return to function

With specialized PT? Most patients see significant improvement in 8-12 weeks.

Without PT? Recovery can take 18-24 months.

The choice is yours. We're here to speed up your healing.

🦵 **KNEE REPLACEMENT RECOVERY: FROM HOSPITAL TO HIKING**

Planning a knee replacement in Flint? Here's what to expect.

Recovery isn't a straight line. It's a journey with phases:

Phase 1 (Weeks 1-4): Reduce swelling, regain motion
Phase 2 (Weeks 4-8): Build strength, improve walking
Phase 3 (Weeks 8-12): Return to activities, confidence building

The difference? Physical therapy. Patients who engage in specialized PT recover faster, regain more function, and have fewer complications.

We've guided dozens of patients from surgery to their favorite activities. You can too.
