My experience does not match yours in the "induced trauma" department but I have a lot of experience working with athletes (para, mainly) and physiotherapists. (PTs, here in the Yew Ess). I witnessed one young lady suffer the equivalent of two broken femurs AND a broken hip, in a December 15 (the day of a Harry Potter debut film) 18 hour surgery, and thanks greatly to her PT, by February learn to walk again (thanks to rods, pins, and screws in all the bones), shoot from a wheelchair at the US Indoor Nationals, by the Arizona Cup, shoot from a bar stool, and by the Texas Shootout, standing without crutches.
All completely impossible without the expert ministrations of a PT. (and not a little gumption on her part).
There is little intelligence in self-damage during recovery from a surgical procedure, I think. While a endoscopic procedure is NOT as insulting to the body as a good old fashioned slice and dice procedure, were it me, would follow the recommendations and guidance of a good PT. Worth their weight in gold, esp. if they are physical sports specialists to boot. You'll likely come out better than you went in...
