With over 25 years of experience serving patients we have developed a Joint Replacement Program to offer knee and hip patients the best chance of long-term success. The goal of the joint replacement program is to restore function, mobility, minimize pain and facilitate a return to normal activities. Comprehensive care begins before surgery and involves three phases.
Three Phases Available for Joint Replacement Patients:
Step 1: Pre-Hab: The majority of pre-surgical patients will benefit from gentle exercise and pain free ROM leading up to surgery. The goal of Pre-Hab is to familiarize patients with our facility, accelerate recovery period and seamlessly transition into post-op physical therapy. Pre-Hab affords patients access to our 30,000 sq. ft award winning Rehabilitation, Longevity and Performance Center. Cost of the Pre-Hab portion is $69.00 per month. For patients who have complex cases that require skilled intervention from a licensed Physical Therapist an Rx will be required. Insurance will be utilized for the one-on-one sessions with your Physical Therapist.
Step 2: Post Operative Physical Therapy: Following surgery patients will return to our facility to initiate Physical Therapy per MD recommendations. We offer the areas most comprehensive outpatient physical therapy clinic in the area and have been serving patients for over 25 years.
Step 3: Post Physical Therapy: We have the luxury to transition our patients from supervised Physical Therapy to independent exercise programs all under the same roof. Licensed Physical Therapist will create the exercise program and patients can continue on a monthly basis as long as they wish. Both aquatic and land based programs are available to all patients as well as ancillary programming such as Personal Training, Fall Prevention, Senior Functional Strengthening, Tai Chi, Healthy Aging Program, Fitness Membership, Golf Conditioning & more.
Effectiveness of Pre-hab
A study by researchers at New England Baptist Hospital, Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center and Harvard Medical School, all based in Boston, found that knee and hip replacement surgery patients who had participated in land-based strength training, aerobic and flexibility exercises for six weeks prior to their surgeries reduced their odds of needing inpatient rehabilitation by 73 percent.
