After TKR did everyone have a physio?

Had my tkr at Spire wrexham 4 weeks ago the package included two sessions an we a then referred to nhs for physio twice a week with others at various stages.in most hospitals I believe you have a self referral scheme .you definitely need to see a physio if only to know how well you are doing

I would definitely go, even if you only need one visit.   They can give great advice.   Even to tell you if your walk is right etc.   I think it's super important.  I pay out of pocket for mine 50.00 dollars a visit, but get 25.00 dollars a visit from my extra health coverage. Well worth it.

Physio visits were recommended to me after my first TKR 7 months ago and as I was having trouble with bending and pain for the first couple of weeks I found her support invaluable. I used her knowledge and experience as a gauge as to how I was progressing. I believe I had about 5 weekly visits. With my second TKR 4 weeks ago I have been much better with my bending due to high dosage of serious meds early on and they nobody advisedme to seek physio. However I di visit her in week 3 just so she could confirm I was doing well which she did. My next appointment is at 6 weeks and I suspect it will be my last. If you are at all concerned about your progress go see a physio. Or even if you want an opinion about comparison with others, go see a physio. Who else will tell you? 

Hi Mary,

I'm in the U.S. and don't know how the health care system works in other countries, but I just wanted to add what my surgeon told me before my op. He said exercise ( we call it physical therapy) is most important after TKR, that it would be a full time job and if I did not think I could keep up with it, then don't have the surgery, as it will have been for nothing. That really impressed i

I had my tkr 5 weeks ago and have had 2 lots of physio from week 3 then from week 5 1 lot a week for another 4 weeks your hospital should have arranged something x

i thought every one did , till i meet some one who didnt have any but he did have a 7 day stay in hospital and a full bend , if i was you i would ask your gp or your surgeon , are you seeing him soon ?
