When to Start Physical Therapy After Joint Replacement
Recovery begins quickly after surgery. In most cases, you’ll start moving within a day or two. Starting physical therapy early helps you:
- Prevent joint stiffness and swelling
- Improve circulation and healing
- Build strength and restore range of motion
- Reduce the risk of complications or falls
The sooner we begin, the better your outcomes can be.
What to Expect at Columbus Physical Therapy
Every recovery plan begins with a full evaluation. Your therapist will check your joint motion, strength, balance, and walking pattern. From there, we’ll design a step-by-step plan to rebuild your movement and support your daily routine.
Your treatment may include:
- Manual therapy to ease pain and improve flexibility
- Targeted exercises to restore strength and joint function
- Balance and gait training for safer walking
- Scar tissue mobilization to reduce tightness
- Education and pacing to protect your joint while staying active
We adjust your care as you heal, so your progress stays safe and steady.
