What we know about joint replacement
According to the American Academy of Orthopedic Surgeons, more than half a million hip and knee replacements are performed each year. These surgeries have proven to be successful in eliminating pain and restoring function in joints affected with severe arthritis. However, patients recovering from joint replacement often experience pain, swelling, and stiffness in their new joint, along with muscle weakness that can last for years after surgery. New advances in post-surgical rehabilitation can help.

What treatments work?
Joint swelling and pain can make muscles weak, which occurs after surgery and as a symptom of arthritis. Our program uses advanced rehabilitation techniques that reduce pain and swelling while accelerating strength and mobility to help the patient resume a healthy, active lifestyle.

Who should try our program?
If you or a loved one are planning a joint replacement, have had recent surgery or experience any of the following, try our program: Photo of Hip Replacement

  • Side effects from pain medication.
  • Unsteadiness while standing, walking, or turning.
  • A lack of full movement or strength in the knee or hip.
  • A fear of falling.
  • Difficulty standing up or climbing stairs.

What can you expect from our program?
Your personal health care team will work with you to find the best treatment for reducing your pain and swelling while returning strength and flexibility to your “new” joint. Your ability to stand up, walk, and climb stairs will also be assessed.
