Can Physical Therapy before Knee Replacement Decrease Length of Hospitalization After Surgery?
According to the study’s findings, patients who underwent preoperative physical therapy had a higher likelihood of being discharged after 1 day in the hospital, and also had a higher likelihood of being discharged to their personal homes rather than going to a skilled nursing facility.
What People Are Saying
“I have had the pleasure of twice receiving therapy from Dr. Cook. In 2017, I had knee and neck issues and this year, once again knee therapy as I underwent a series of shots to my left knee. Dr. Cook’s regimen of therapy and exercise has benefited me immensely. She is an excellent therapist but, even more important, she is a wonderful person. She puts a person at ease with her cheerful, outgoing personality as she conducts the therapy. I highly recommend her!”
