If you have received a total joint replacement of the knee, hip, or shoulder, physical therapy can benefit you. Our West Hartford, Glastonbury or Granby, CT clinic provides joint replacement physical therapy rehabilitation to those whose mobility is limited due to a replacement procedure, or even those who experience impairing joint pain without having gone through replacement surgery yet. If your joints are a constant source of pain, request an appointment today so Connecticut Physical Therapy Specialists can help provide you with some relief.
Common Causes Of Total Joint Replacement
Total joint replacement surgery is typically recommended for those who:
- Have severe joint damage. This is typically due to arthritic debilitation, either from osteoarthritis or rheumatoid arthritis.
- Experienced a severe trauma to the joint(s). Some injuries can only be addressed through surgical treatment, depending on how critical the damage was.
- Live with chronic shooting pains. If your pain is constantly affecting your daily life and no other treatments have seemed to help, your doctor may suggest surgery.
If you believe you may be in need of total joint replacement surgery, it is important to discuss that with your primary physician first. If you have already received total joint replacement surgery, it is likely that your primary physician will refer you to a West Hartford, Glastonbury or Granby, CT physical therapist for part of your recovery treatment.

How Will Physical Therapy Help Me?
Physical therapy will be important in the rehabilitation process for your total joint replacement. Our Doctors of Physical Therapy will provide a treatment plan for you that will assist in restoring your range of motion, flexibility, strength, endurance, and overall mobility. Physical therapy treatments can also benefit you both before AND after your procedure, in order to make sure that your recovery process is as smooth as possible.
What Should I Expect?
Your initial appointment will consist of a physical evaluation to determine what course of treatment will be best for your needs. Our Doctors of Physical Therapy will create a specialized treatment plan based on your evaluation, aimed at rehabilitation and bringing you back to your optimum physical health.
At first, your treatment plan will consist of passive physical therapy, which is primarily focused on pain relief and recovery. This may include manual therapy, gentle therapeutic exercises, or any other combination of treatment services that your Doctors of Physical Therapy deems for your treatment plan. After your passive therapy, you will continue into active physical therapy treatments. These will include strengthening exercises, posture corrective exercises and functional movements to be completed within the clinic or a home based exercise program. These will all help in making your recovery as quick and comfortable as possible, all while improving your normal function!
