Joint Replacement Rehabilitation

Orthopaedic rehabilitation is essential for successful joint replacement surgery. When you undergo hip replacement rehab, it’s common to begin physical therapy the day of surgery. You’re likely to walk right away, with the aid of a walker, crutches or a cane.

Therapists also provide exercises to prepare you to return to your normal routine. You may continue these for several weeks. Occupational therapists teach you how to safely put on your pants, shoes and socks to prevent dislocating your hip and how to do other activities.

Knee replacement rehab is similar. It includes physical and occupational therapy. Exercise and adaptive equipment can help speed up your recovery and keep you safe.
