Hi everyone,

My spouse had 2 large bilateral inguinal hernias, one direct, one indirect. It was an extensive surgery. Canal floors were blown and tissue was splayed. My spouse has a high risk of failure and I’m thinking physical therapy would be beneficial. Has anyone been referred to PT post-surgery? How did you present your case to get approval? What do we look for in a PT? The PCM has to put in the referral, and since PT isn’t usual after surgery and referrals can be hard to get, I want to make sure our request is solid. I’ll be submitting records and hopefully a request from the surgeon as well.
