Joint Replacement Rehabilitation

Restore movement, strength, and confidence after knee, hip, or shoulder replacement.

Comprehensive Physical Therapy provides individualized joint replacement rehabilitation for patients in Metairie and Mandeville, LA. Whether you are preparing for surgery or recovering afterward, our team can help you work toward comfortable, independent movement.

Rehabilitation for Your New Joint

If you have received a total joint replacement of the knee, hip, or shoulder, physical therapy can benefit you. Our clinics provide joint replacement rehabilitation for people whose mobility is limited after a replacement procedure, as well as for people experiencing impairing joint pain before surgery.

Total joint replacement surgery may be recommended when joint damage from osteoarthritis or rheumatoid arthritis is severe, after significant joint trauma, or when chronic shooting pain continues to affect daily life and other treatments have not helped. Your primary physician can help determine whether surgery is appropriate for you.

Physical therapy can be valuable both before and after your procedure. We focus on helping make your recovery process as smooth as possible while supporting a return to normal function.

How Physical Therapy Supports Recovery

Your physical therapist will create a treatment plan designed around your evaluation, procedure, mobility needs, and recovery goals.

Restore Mobility

Rehabilitation is designed to assist in restoring range of motion, flexibility, and overall mobility after joint replacement.

Build Strength & Endurance

As your recovery progresses, guided strengthening work helps support improved function and endurance for everyday activities.

Progress with Confidence

One-on-one guidance and a clear plan can help you safely progress toward greater independence and the activities that matter to you.

What to Expect at Comprehensive Physical Therapy

Your initial appointment includes a physical evaluation to determine the course of treatment best suited to your needs. Your physical therapist will then create a specialized plan aimed at rehabilitation and helping you return to your optimum physical health.

Early care is often focused on pain relief and recovery. This may include gentle therapeutic exercise, manual therapy, or another combination of services selected for your treatment plan. As you progress, active treatment includes strengthening exercises with the guidance of your physical therapist and at-home treatments you can perform on your own.

We will work with you through each stage of recovery to improve normal function and help make the process as comfortable as possible.
