Game changer

Posted , 4 users are following.

6 weeks post tkr and 12 weeks post tkr on other knee. I go to PT 3 days a week and do all exercises at home. 10 days ago o went to the pool and have been everyday since. It has been a game changer/ my walking is getting close to normal, quads are strengthening. I walk 30 minutes and then bend, squat and stretch. Then go to the deep end, with a noodle, and ride the bicycle. This has helped increase my rom and flexibility. It has helped so much. Hope it will help you too.

    Encouraging to hear.  I am looking forward to getting this taken care of.  I have done several types of surgeries before.  Sport injuries from when I was young.  So I am hopefule that this will take care of it.  The pool has been my refruge from so much through all of this.  It is really all I can do now.
