Feeling stuck with bending or straightening? Has the surgeon mentioned the MUA? Are you concerned with your stiffness? These courses will give you the right plan.
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."
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.
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.
A walker will be necessary for your safety for a few weeks. If you want to purchase a walker before surgery, practice walking in your home with it so you can be extra prepared!
