Recovery & Rehabilitation

Making the decision to have knee replacement surgery is the first important step you will take to improve your mobility and reduce your pain. This decision then becomes a partnership with your surgeon. Your surgeon commits to excellence in medical care and you must commit to the important rehabilitation that follows. This commitment, together with your surgeon's skills, gives you the tools necessary to achieve your goal of returning to your daily activities.

Proper rehab and physical therapy are vital to the success of your surgery, but they will also be a challenge. There's a lot to think about - but being prepared can ultimately affect the successfulness of your knee replacement.
