1. A method of monitoring and providing feedback regarding a post operative recovery from surgery associated with a musculoskeletal condition of a patient when excessive muscle contraction is contraindicated, the method comprising: positioning a monitoring device on skin of the patient in a region associated with the musculoskeletal condition of the patient after surgery which addressed the musculoskeletal condition of the patient, the monitoring device comprising a patch having at least one sensor that detects muscle activity of the patient in the region;
activating the monitoring device;
detecting the muscle activity of the patient in the region using the at least one sensor;
determining whether the detected muscle activity of the patient exceeds a predetermined threshold associated with the post operative recovery;
recording a number of times that the muscle activity in the region exceeds the predetermined threshold associated with the post operative recovery; and
providing feedback to the patient indicating that the predetermined threshold has been exceeded when it is determined that the muscle activity in the region exceeds the predetermined threshold associated with the post operative recovery, wherein exceeding the threshold a predetermined number of times indicates activity that compromises an outcome of the surgery.
