Why should rehabilitation after sports medicine surgery not follow time alone?

Doctor’s answer

A timeline gives only a rough stage. Progress is determined by pain, swelling, range of motion, strength, movement control, tissue healing, and what was done during surgery. Moving too quickly may increase failure risk; moving too slowly may lead to stiffness and loss of function.
