Joint replacement surgery is typically done in an effort to relieve pain, help individuals move and feel better and improve overall quality of life. Following surgery, however, physical rehabilitation plays an important role in reaching these desired results.
Our skillful physical and occupational therapists work with many joint replacement patients and know the unique challenges of recovery following surgery. A physical therapist can help with exercises to strengthen the muscles around the joint and work on regaining motion in the new joint. An occupational therapist will work on safely mastering the motions necessary to live independently, such as bending and lifting.
These clinicians along with our physicians and nurses, provide insight and understanding about each patient’s unique situation, continually focusing on the desired end result – reducing pain and returning home.
