Joint replacement surgery is one of the most common orthopedic operations in the United States. The operation itself is the first step in your journey toward a more comfortable, active life. After your surgery, physical therapists will begin working with you to enhance your mobility and flexibility and address your pain—typically at your bedside, and usually the same day as your surgery—and continue to help you to get stronger and learn how to move with your new joint.
Whom We Care For
We offer rehabilitation services for people who have had:
- Knee replacement (including single and double knee replacements)
- Hip replacement
- Shoulder replacement
- Joint Replacement Rehabilitation Services
Your rehabilitation program may include one or more of these therapies:
Physical therapy: Physical therapists use a variety of techniques to help you get moving, reduce your pain, restore your function, and prevent disability. Many of our physical therapists are certified by the American Physical Therapy Association as orthopedic clinical specialists. Your physical therapist will show you what to do during each session, but it is important for you to do “homework” exercises to fully benefit from the treatment.
Occupational therapy: Occupational therapists help you relearn the skills of daily living, such as taking care of yourself, getting dressed, writing, regaining balance and coordination, and using supportive equipment. Their goal is to enable you to lead an independent, productive, and satisfying life. You will receive guidance on exercises you can do at home to ensure you receive the full benefit of your therapy.
