When you need to undergo joint replacement, whether it’s for a hip, shoulder, knee, or other joint, physical therapy plays a crucial role in every stage of the process.
Physical therapy following joint replacement surgery helps restore range of motion, strength, mobility, flexibility, and endurance. Another focus is on self-care skills and the ability to perform prior activities.
A physical therapist can provide you with the education needed to walk and climb stairs, get in and out of a chair or car, tie your shoes, and other daily activities.
