Purely anecdotal, but 7-footers don't seem to heal as fast as other people. Hope JQ is an exception.

Yeah, my son did therapy the next day before we drove back home to Kentucky. He started therapy 3x/week immediately.

My surgeon was the same one that did wku surgeries...maybe still, and yes, he had me doing stuff the next day after acl replacement and up moving around right after I woke from anesthesia. Won't go it that except to say, they want you to get up and pee before ya leave. Otherwise, light therapy started the day after surgery. AFAIK, that's what is still done by sports drs. I was/am very satisfied with him. The first surgery/dr...not so much at all. That was old school, pre-arthroscopic, 7 inch cut, 9 weeks in a cast to my nads and a year of therapy...still not right after that. Second was arthro and helped over the first but 3rd time was a charm and thankfully, better than ever...minus 20 something years and tearing a previous partial acl repair thyat really never shoul've happened. It may be even better by now but I know for certain, acl surgery is not and should not be a year long rehab any more. Hard to greatly speed bone healing time but some..and therapy starting the day after is to keep from losing range of motion and as retaining as much muscular strength/stability as possible while the bone heals.

My son's surgeon did Tennessee Titans surgeries. He's at Elite Sports Medicine in Nashville. Is that the same as yours?
