Knee replacement surgery is the most common joint replacement done in the world. In 2018, there were over 700,000 done!

Total knee arthroplasty, as it’s known in the healthcare field, is a treatment option for severe knee arthritis. It is usually done after other less invasive treatments have been done.

The after care for a knee joint replacement is HIGHLY important to make sure that the person undergoing the operation has a successful outcome. The usual way this is done is the patient begins physical therapy treatment in the hospital within 24 hours after the knee operation is completed.

Surgeons usually tell patients they’ll be up and walking within a day and back to “normal” within a few months. What surgeons don’t typically see however is that getting back to “normal” really takes 12 months.

It’s just that the surgeon’s involvement in the care of the patient ends a few months after the knee replacement surgery happens.

This video will overview what should normally be happening month to month in the year after having a knee replacement surgery.

Not everyone’s situation is exactly the same and people with other conditions like hip or back pain…or pain in the other knee, will usually change the expected recovery times.

Our 28 Day Knee Health & Wellness Boost Program can help you achieve more knee flexibility and strength. It is focused on fixing the common muscle imbalance that leads to knee arthritis and re-injury of a knee joint that has already been replaced.

It's a 100% online and on-demand program for improving knee health. It's packed with exercises, advice and coaching from Dr. David.
