Start Your Recovery Early – Pre-Operative Physiotherapy

One of the most beneficial aspects of joint replacement recovery is pre-operative physiotherapy. While you may be focused on the surgery itself, preparing your body beforehand can make a huge difference in your recovery timeline. Pre-operative therapy strengthens muscles, improves flexibility, and enhances your range of motion—this can result in a quicker recovery after surgery.

Our physiotherapists will work with you before your knee replacement surgery to help you achieve the following:

• Strengthening Key Muscles: Strengthening the muscles around your knee, especially your quadriceps, can reduce the stress on the new joint and improve your post-surgery rehabilitation.
• Improving Flexibility and Mobility: Pre-operative therapy will focus on increasing your flexibility and range of motion, so your body is better prepared for the post-surgery healing process.
• Reducing Post-Operative Complications: Pre-surgery rehabilitation can minimize the risk of complications such as stiffness, weakness, and difficulty with movement, helping you recover faster.

Our goal is to set you up for success, allowing for a smoother transition after surgery and a quicker return to daily activities.

Post-Surgery Rehabilitation – Physio, Chiro, and Massage for Faster Recovery

After your knee replacement surgery, rehabilitation is key to regaining strength, mobility, and independence. At our clinic, we offer a range of therapies that work together to address the various aspects of your recovery. Whether you’re struggling with pain, mobility, or muscle weakness, our team of physiotherapists and chiropractors will create a personalized treatment plan that helps you achieve optimal results.

Physiotherapy for Joint Replacement Recovery

After surgery, your physiotherapist will guide you through a range of exercises and treatments designed to restore your strength and mobility. Our physical therapy services focus on:

• Restoring Range of Motion: One of the main goals post-surgery is to improve flexibility and range of motion. We will help you perform stretches and exercises to restore full functionality to the joint.
• Strengthening Muscles: A knee replacement requires surrounding muscles to work harder, which is why strengthening exercises are crucial. Our therapists will provide exercises targeting the quadriceps, hamstrings, and other muscles around the knee to support long-term recovery.
• Pain Management: Physical therapy also involves hands-on techniques like manual therapy to help alleviate pain and reduce swelling around the joint, speeding up the healing process.
• Balance and Gait Training: If you are using assistive devices like crutches or walkers, our therapists will teach you how to use them correctly, ensuring proper posture and balance. As you transition to walking independently, balance exercises will help reduce the risk of falls and promote confidence in movement.

Chiropractic Care for Alignment and Nerve Function

Chiropractic care can play an important role in your recovery by focusing on spinal and joint alignment, which can reduce the stress on your body and enhance healing. Our chiropractors may:

• Spinal Adjustments: Gentle spinal manipulations can help restore proper alignment and relieve any tension caused by compensatory movement patterns post-surgery.
• Manual Therapy: Chiropractic treatment can address muscle tightness and improve joint mobility in areas surrounding your knee, allowing for a smoother recovery.
• Pain Reduction: Chiropractors use techniques to alleviate pain that may stem from misalignment or stress on your body during the healing process.

Massage Therapy for Soft Tissue Recovery

Massage therapy is an excellent complement to physical therapy and chiropractic care. It can reduce muscle tension, promote circulation, and alleviate the discomfort commonly experienced after knee replacement surgery. Our massage therapists are trained to work on the muscles around the knee joint to:

• Relieve Muscle Tension: Massage helps relax muscles that may become tight after surgery, improving flexibility and reducing pain.
• Promote Circulation: Increased blood flow encourages healing by delivering nutrients to the tissues and reducing swelling.
• Alleviate Stress: Massage therapy can also provide relaxation, which is essential for mental well-being during the recovery process.

PEMF Therapy for Pain and Inflammation

Pulsed Electromagnetic Field (PEMF) therapy is a cutting-edge treatment that can help accelerate healing and reduce pain. By applying electromagnetic pulses to the affected area, PEMF therapy helps promote cellular repair and reduces inflammation, making it an ideal complement to your joint replacement rehabilitation.
