Joint Replacement Rehab

Regaining strength, mobility, and confidence after a joint replacement can be a rewarding journey. St. Luke's Therapy Sevierville's Joint Replacement Rehabilitation program provides a comprehensive approach to guide you through every step of your recovery, helping you achieve optimal results and a return to your desired activities.

Understanding Joint Replacement Surgery:

Joint replacement surgery involves replacing a damaged joint with an artificial implant. While it alleviates pain and improves function, rehabilitation is crucial to restore strength, flexibility, and range of motion in the replaced joint.

Who Can Benefit from Our Joint Replacement Rehabilitation Program?

Our program is designed for individuals who have undergone hip, knee, or other joint replacement surgery, experiencing limitations such as:

• Pain and stiffness in the replaced joint
• Difficulty walking, climbing stairs, or performing daily activities
• Limited range of motion and flexibility
• Weakness in the muscles surrounding the joint

What to Expect in Our Joint Replacement Rehabilitation Program:

• Pre-Operative Education (Optional): We can educate you about what to expect before, during, and after surgery, helping you prepare for a smooth recovery.
