Physical Therapy recommendation
I had rotator cuff surgery on both shoulders last year (one July, one Sept) with Advanced Orthopedic Institute(Dr. Cook). I live in Fenney and did not want to drive to their office each time for Therapy. I used Cora Physical Therapy in Grand Traverse for both rehabs. They were awesome people to deal with and very flexible on scheduling. Cora has locations all around the villages where AOI has one location near the hospital in Spanish Springs. I also went to Cora's Lake Sumter location for therapy massages to help with some of the tightness in my back and neck after surgery.
If you contact Cora or one of the other PT groups that are not owned by the doctors office, they will look for you to get your doctors recommended protocol and that is what they follow. Each Cora office I went to have a Doctor of Physical Therapy as well as PT assistants. I saw the Dr(Clair) on my first visit and at intervals during my PT she would perform the pt and check my progress, etc.
My neighbor had his rotator cuff surgery also with Dr. Cook at AOI and he did rehab at AOI and he thought they did a great job also. I just preferred not to drive 40 minutes each way 3 times a week for a 30 minute session. Hope that helps
