Post OATS surgery, physical therapy

Question

Asked for Male, 30 Years

My father had undergone OATS surgery for knee and its been 3 weeks now, post surgery recovery is excellent so far, the problem is that he (my father) is extremely afraid that he'll not be able to bend his knee in future (though i know that it will take some time for recovery) , my question is, should i approach any physiotherapist, which will help him gain some confidence and is it right time for that (3 weeks after surgery)
