Around 15 days of brace followed by physiotherapy. U can gain strength by around 2-3 weeks but u should restrict external rotation of shoulder to avoid further damage.
If u can get a MRI done after 15 days to assess the extent of damage to rotator cuff and then move ahead as per the treating surgeons advice.
