For many people, when a person suffers an injury, be it traumatic or have developed over time; surgery seems to be the first and foremost thought to correct things. The fact that many people do not consider is what the impact of recovering from a surgery is vs. going to a more conservative non invasive approach, ie. Physical Therapy.
The human body has an amazing ability to heal and recover more than a lot of people give credence to. The body is very mechanical structurally and of the strength of the supporting structures, muscles, is correct, then the side effect of pain will go away.
Importance of Strength Before Surgery
If a person requires surgery to correct an injury, there is a lot of research that says the stronger you get before having surgery, the easier and better the post operative recovery.
Unfortunately, the quick answer is most often much more convoluted than it seems and to often used when not necessary in a surgical approach.
