Shoulder Replacement Surgery — Recovery Guide in Mumbai

Recovery from Shoulder Replacement Surgery in Mumbai is structured in phases, and understanding those phases helps set realistic expectations. The first phase — the hospital stay, roughly 2 days — covers immediate wound care, pain management, and very early physiotherapy. You'll be encouraged to move sooner than most patients expect; that's deliberate. The second phase spans weeks two through six at home, where your daily physio exercises become the central focus. Pain reduces, mobility gradually builds, and daily tasks become progressively more manageable. By weeks eight to ten, most patients are back to office work and light daily activities. Full recovery — the kind where you're moving without restriction and have regained your strength — takes closer to three to four months for most people.
