Replacement Surgery Therapy

Physical Therapy is integral to the recovery process after joint replacement surgery. Physical therapists will work with a patient to develop a customized treatment plan to restore strength, range of motion, and mobility. Physical therapists also provide education on how to prevent further injury or deterioration. Physical therapy exercises may include stretching, strengthening, balance, and endurance to restore joint function and relieve pain. Physical therapists may also use heat, ice, electrical stimulation, or ultrasound to reduce pain and swelling and promote healing. Physical therapists will also provide advice on proper body mechanics, posture, gait training, and walking aids to help ensure that a patient can resume their daily activities. Physical Therapy is essential in helping a patient return to an active and healthy lifestyle following joint replacement surgery.
