Video Summary
Ross Nakaji, a physical therapist and athletic trainer in California, discusses progressing a patient from phase two to phase three post-surgery for a pectoralis tear. This transition typically occurs 5-6 weeks post-surgery. To accurately assess readiness, reviewing the operative report or consulting the surgeon is crucial. In the clinic, isometric exercises are used to evaluate tissue integrity, focusing on internal rotation within the range of motion limits. Progression should be cautious, prioritizing overall arm strengthening and ensuring no rush in regaining mobility or strength to prevent setbacks in rehabilitation.
