Saturday, November 07, 2009 5:03 AM
Can anyone tell how long is physical therapy after a Latissmus Doris Flap? I forgot to ask my PS when I saw him. I will call him on Monday. I wanted to know from people who have gone through it.
Thanks,
Elizabeth

Hi Elizabeth,
I didn't have physical therapy, I just do range of motion and stretching...I am tighter on that side but its improving and still weaker but getting stronger. Physical therapy would be beneficial though to learn the exercises but not sure how many sessions, probably depends on insurance I'm guessing...
Hugs,
