What to expect after a joint replacement surgery
There are several phases of rehab following a joint replacement surgery. Every surgery has different protocols and healing timelines following surgery. In some cases depending on the surgeon and/or the surgical technique there will be temporary restrictions to allow the body to heal.
Everyone will have different rehab experiences. This depends on the overall health of the person and the state of the joint prior to surgery. For an easier recovery it is generally recommended to do some pre-op physiotherapy to prepare your body for surgery and recovery.
