Arthroplasty: Physical Therapy

Transcript

Following the surgery for knee replacement, physical therapy is an important part of the recovery process. Our therapists work with the patient to improve their mobility as range of motion following knee replacement is very critical, especially in the early periods as it can become harder and harder to increase that range of motion due to the stiffness that can occur as the joint heals and the soft tissue itself starts to contract around the knee. During this time, it’s important to keep the motion alive.
