Rehab after periacetabular osteotomy

Hello,

I just had a periacetabular osteotomy and I’m being told that there won’t be physical therapy or any form of movement for six weeks. Is that reasonable?

Also the doctor told me that I have to wait for 12 weeks before being able to start lifting weights again. Is that reasonable as well?

Thanks in advance!

@Julia95 Hey - why was the procedure performed?
Much of this will be related to what happened in surgery and the surgeon’s preference for post-op restrictions. We would need a consult with you to work through such details and give appropriate recommendations but those restrictions aren’t overly surprising to me.
