You're ready for your knee to be back to moving again. We've created courses that help you through each stage.
As a Physical Therapist for thousands of patients, I noticed there was a lack of information being provided to patients before, during and after surgery. I witnessed patients experiencing frustration and prolonged pain. I created Succeed Courses so that you can get the tools to confidently prepare and recover from your knee replacement surgery. Experience strength, confidence, and mobility throughout your recovery!
Wondering what the experts recommend to help you recover from surgery fast? Browse Dr. Sam's full list for free, grouped from "highly recommended", all the way through to "optional but helpful."
Use walker skiis instead of tennis balls for your walker! The back legs of the walker come with rubber caps. You will need to replace them so you can use the walker properly.
An ice machine is essential for knee replacement recovery. Ice is imperative for pain relief, especially duing those first 2-4 weeks post surgery when pain is highest. The ice machine will provide more consistent and longer cold therapy to help with pain. Polar Active Ice Machine is my favorite because it is extremely easy to use. Just a few tubes to connect, fill it with ice, and plug it in. If you order from their site with the coupon code, it’ll be cheaper than Amazon with free 2 day shipping! If you are having a bilateral knee replacement, order this one.
A shower chair will be essential for your safety after knee surgery. Falls often happen in the bathroom. After surgery, you are at more risk of falling due to fatigue, new medication and leg weakness. Please get a shower chair for your safety!
