and get a new high-tech replacement. After you and your surgeon
have made that decision, it is time to consult with your Active
Physical Therapy physical therapist to establish a plan to regain
your activities.
Before
surgery...
At Active Physical Therapy you will receive a pre-surgical consultation
with the referral of your orthopedic surgeon. The pre-surgical consultation
will address home safety and hospital preparation. Also, it is strongly
advised that anyone considering total joint replacement, should
embark upon an exercise program before surgery for weight reduction
and improved pre-surgical fitness.
Rehabilitation...
When your surgeon orders physical therapy, you may begin your return
to an active lifestyle. With the initial evaluation of your physical
therapist at Active Physical Therapy, you will begin your road to
recovery and a more active life. Your physical therapist will establish
a plan to reach your goals. The treatment will consist of therapeutic
exercises, transfer training, gait training, emergency evacuation
skills, balance activities, precaution education, fitness training,
and advice for sports participation.
