Post Calcific Tewndonitis Surgery (Arthroscopic/Barbotage)

Post Calcific Tendonitis Surgery (Arthroscopic /Barbotage)

Phase	Rehabilitation	Precautions
Day 0	Sling for comfort (often minimal); encourage immediate hand/elbow movement.	No specific immobilisation; pain dictates activity.
0–2 weeks	Active-assisted ROM (flexion/abd/ER) within tolerance; pendulum exercises; ice/analgesia.	Avoid sharp pain at operated site; gentle movements only.
2–4 weeks	Progress to full active ROM as pain subsides; begin gentle rotator cuff strengthening (isometrics to bands).	No heavy lifting or overhead strain if pain.
4–6 weeks	Increase strengthening/conditioning; integrate scapular and posture exercises.	Resume normal use gradually.
6–12 weeks	Full ROM/strength; return to usual activities.	12+ weeks: unrestrictive.

Key Points: Typically well-tolerated; pain and inflammation are main barriers. Early aggressive shoulder use is usually allowed if comfortable. Wound care is minimal (needle punctures).

Return: Sedentary work immediately to 1 week; manual work 4–6 weeks; full strength by ~3 months.

Testimonials

“Kate used a technique called visceral release to work on my internal organs, the effect has been amazing. I have had several sessions with Kate and the pain in my hip has almost gone. I can move freely and walk more easily.”

Mary

“Kate is a superb therapist and has moved me quickly from despair to recovery.”

Alex

“I cannot sing enough praises for the treatment I received from Kate. Instead of treating the symptoms, she treated the cause of the problem.”

Tara (a professional triathlete)

”FIVE STAR EXPERIENCE. Kate looks at the body as a whole (both physically and emotionally) and is able to identify and treat the root cause of the pain. This type of Physiotherapy is much more logical and effective than traditional Physiotherapy. The best physio I have come across – thank you Kate.”
