"Mobilisations, stretching, scar tissue treatment and exercises~* Start immediately after surgery, sessions are individual and take 30 minutes~* Intensive phase (4 months): 1-2x/week~* Maintenance phase (8 months, 3 sessions): 6, 8 and 12 months post-surgery"

"This modern neuroscience educational approach is suited to explain more complex issues associated with pain such as the involvement of peripheral and central mechanisms, neuroplasticity and pain behaviour.~* Sessions are individual and take 30 minutes, in addition to the standard physical therapy sessions~* 3 sessions during week 1-2, 3 booster sessions at 6, 8 and 12 months post-surgery"

"Traditional educational interventions are applied according to the biomedical model. This means that the patient's pain experience is explained from a tissue (injured versus healthy tissue) and biomechanics perspective~* Sessions are individual and take 30 minutes, in addition to the standard physical therapy sessions~* 3 sessions during week 1-2, 3 booster sessions at 6, 8 and 12 months post-surgery"
