The Importance of Physical Therapy in Joint
Replacement Recovery
Recovering from a total knee replacement is not
easy. It's usually a tedious and arduous process
with little to show at the outset. Rehabilitating
from a TKR requires a multidisciplinary approach,
and physiotherapy is integral to it.
Physiotherapy may be essential for a full
recovery after TKR. The process of
physiotherapy what does it entail? When a
patient has had joint replacement surgery, they
may participate in physiotherapy to help them
regain their range of motion. Physiotherapy
exercises are started on the first postoperative
day, and the intensity is gradually raised until
the patient fully recovers. It typically entails
self-exercising at home regularly and visiting a
physiotherapist once a day or once a week. You
can see a Physiotherapist in a Physiotherapy
Centre or have an at-home Physiotherapist come to
your home regularly to carry out exercises and
therapy. Without a specialist's supervision, you
risk hurting your prosthetic joint if you don't
execute the activities prescribed by your
healthcare team.
