Total Joint Replacement

Common Causes of Total Joint Replacement:

Total joint replacement surgery is typically recommended for those who:

• Have severe joint damage, often resulting from osteoarthritis or rheumatoid arthritis.
• Have experienced significant trauma to the joint(s) that can only be addressed through surgery, depending on the extent of the damage.
• Suffer from chronic, debilitating pain that disrupts daily life and hasn’t responded to other treatments, leading your doctor to recommend surgery.

If you think you might need total joint replacement surgery, it’s important to discuss this with your primary physician first. If you’ve already undergone surgery, your doctor will likely refer you to a Abu Dhabi physiotherapist to aid in your recovery.

How Will Physical Therapy Benefit Me?

Physical therapy plays a crucial role in your rehabilitation after a total joint replacement. Our physiotherapist will create a personalized treatment plan to help restore your range of motion, flexibility, strength, endurance, and overall mobility. Physiotherapy can be beneficial both before and after your procedure, ensuring that your recovery process is as smooth and effective as possible.

What Can I Expect?

During your initial appointment, we will conduct a physical evaluation to determine the most effective treatment plan for your needs. Based on this evaluation, our physiotherapist will design a customized plan aimed at rehabilitating you and restoring your optimal physical health.

Initially, your treatment will focus on passive physiotherapy, which is geared toward pain relief and recovery. This may include manual therapy, gentle therapeutic exercises, or other treatment methods that your physiotherapist considers appropriate for your plan. Once the passive phase is complete, you will move on to active physiotherapy, which involves strengthening exercises guided by your Abu Dhabi physiotherapist, along with at-home exercises to be performed on your own. These combined efforts will help ensure a swift and comfortable recovery while enhancing your overall function.
