Hey there, time traveller!

Have you had a recent hip or knee replacement? You don’t have to tread the recovery path alone. Physiotherapy after your joint replacement is key in getting the most out of your procedure. Physiotherapy is proven to improve outcomes after joint replacements including improved quality of bone tissue, reduced risk of post-surgical complications, improved strength, and improved walking speed.
Physiotherapy treatment also helps manage post-operative pain. While medications certainly play a part, movement is equally crucial. Specific exercises are designed to stimulate blood flow and alleviate discomfort, making the recovery process much smoother.
After your surgery, it might feel daunting, even downright scary, to move your new joint. Under the guidance of your physiotherapist, you’ll learn to bend, walk, and even climb stairs again with renewed confidence and safety. Your physiotherapist will equip you with exercises that are designed to enhance strength and flexibility, restoring muscle function and joint mobility to your hip or knee.
Whether individual sessions or group therapy is your preference, both come with unique advantages. One-on-one therapy provides focused, personalized attention and assessment, while group sessions foster a sense of community, adding a motivational element to your recovery.
Your pathway to regaining mobility is more accessible than ever whether through your Private Insurance or a recently announced Manitoba Government funded program; it’s an investment in your health, well-being, and a return to a life you love. Reach out to your healthcare provider about physiotherapy options, and take advantage of this initiative to maximize your post-operative recovery today!
YOUR PHYSIOTHERAPIST HAS THE ABILITY TO USE A BROAD RANGE OF TREATMENT TECHNIQUES TO HELP YOU GET BETTER.
