In general, if you're already asking, it's past time to go already. There's a general time frame for healing after an injury or operation, but most doctors want their patients in therapy at the earliest possible time the patient is physically able. The problem for most is mental rather than just physical though - our brain doesn't want us to do things that cause pain, and after being through a traumatic injury or operation dealing with increased pain levels, it also exacerbates the problem. It's a real problem for many people like myself who have dealt with constant extreme pain levels for many years. When we feel relatively normal, our brain keeps us from doing things that lead to pain again. As the muscles become weaker, physical activity gets harder and there's more pain when you exercise the affected area. This is why therapy is prescribed early on in treatment, because the longer you wait to begin, the harder it becomes to start and complete. Don't underestimate the power of the mind to keep you from doing what you need to do.

Just remember that the longer you put it off, the worse you'll be and the longer it will take you to recover.
