Total Joint Replacement Physiotherapy at Medhealth
Congratulations on taking the first step towards improved mobility and quality of life with your total joint replacement! At Medhealth Physiotherapy, our dedicated physiotherapist specializes in comprehensive rehabilitation programs designed to optimize your recovery following total joint replacement surgery.
Understanding Total Joint Replacement: Total joint replacement, whether it’s for the hip, knee, shoulder, or other joints, is a significant step towards relieving pain and restoring function. However, proper rehabilitation is crucial for achieving the best possible outcomes and getting you back to your active lifestyle.
Our Approach to Total Joint Replacement Physiotherapy:
Early Mobilization: We understand the importance of starting rehabilitation soon after surgery. Our physiotherapists will guide you through gentle exercises and movements to promote circulation, prevent stiffness, and begin the healing process.
Pain Management: Total joint replacement surgery can initially cause discomfort. We employ various techniques to manage pain, including ice, heat, manual therapy, and modalities such as ultrasound or electrical stimulation.
Range of Motion Exercises: We focus on regaining the full range of motion in your new joint through specific exercises and stretches. These movements help prevent scar tissue formation and improve flexibility.
Strength Training: Building strength in the muscles surrounding the joint is crucial for stability and function. We develop customized strength training programs to gradually increase muscle strength and endurance.
Gait Training: Restoring normal walking patterns (gait) is essential for your mobility. Our physiotherapists will work with you on proper walking techniques, using assistive devices if needed, to ensure a smooth and confident gait.
Balance and Coordination: We incorporate balance and coordination exercises to improve your stability and reduce the risk of falls. These exercises help you regain confidence in your movements.
Functional Activities: Our rehabilitation programs focus on real-life functional activities, such as climbing stairs, getting in and out of chairs, and other daily tasks, to help you return to your normal routine.
Education and Home Exercises: We provide comprehensive education on joint protection, proper body mechanics, and home exercises. These home exercises are crucial for maintaining progress between sessions and continuing your rehabilitation.
