Physical therapy, both before and after a joint replacement, is essential to your recovery.
Following the instructions in these videos to understand the pre-operative and post-operative exercises will help you feel confident through every step of recovery.
Pre-Operative Exercises:
Hip and Knee Replacement
We recommend you follow these therapy exercises before you have surgery. Learning these beforehand will help your recovery go more smoothly.
Why?
- You’ll feel more prepared going into surgery.
- You’ll gain strength and range-of-motion in the areas that need it the most.
Post-Operative Exercises:
Hip and Knee Replacement
Physical therapy after a joint replacement will help strengthen your joints and make you more flexible, therefore speeding up the recovery process. A successful outcome after surgery is highly dependent upon your dedication to these exercises, so maintaining consistency is key to regaining proper joint movement and strength.
