Joint replacement surgery can help offer relief from chronic pain and restore your quality of life. Recent advances in surgical technology have made many joint replacement surgeries an outpatient procedure, with physical therapy starting one week later. Our goal is to help you regain mobility and to get you back to everyday activities and sports painfree. We take a comprehensive approach, focusing not only on the joint that was replaced, but your entire body including posture and alignment, soft tissue structures, and gait mechanics where compensations may have been occurring over years.
HERE’S HOW OUR SERVICES CAN HELP:
- Pre-surgical conditioning: Preparing your body before surgery can assist in a quicker, smoother recovery. We’ll help you to preserve or improve strength, enhance flexibility, and start post-operative exercises in order to build muscle memory for quicker recovery.
- Post-surgical rehabilitation: After surgery, we’ll develop a customized plan including exercises to restore joint mobility and prevent build up of scar tissue, strengthen surrounding muscles, and enhance overall function.
- Gait and balance training: For hip and knee replacements, gait and balance training is essential. We’ll help you learn how to walk with proper mechanics and gain stability in your movements.
- Return to activities and sports: We will incorporate the movement patterns you specifically need to get back to the activities you love doing. We’ll instruct you on proper body mechanics and ways to prevent future joint issues.
Working closely with local surgeons for years, our team has extensive experience in joint replacement rehabilitation. We take the time to understand your unique needs and goals. Your plan will be tailored to ensure you achieve the best possible outcomes and return to the activities you enjoy the most.
