Hello, I’m José Illescas, licensed physical therapist and fifth-year medical student. If you have recently received a total knee or hip replacement, surgery has given you a new joint—but how well that joint performs will depend on the rehabilitation you choose now. Expert consensus and recent research agree that supervised physiotherapy, begun soon after discharge and progressed with objective milestones, leads to faster strength gains, safer walking, and lower risk of long-term stiffness or gait problems.
What my evidence-driven sessions include?
1) Comprehensive assessment – Incision and swelling check, range-of-motion measurement, and gait testing establish a safe starting point for every visit.
Individualised exercise progression – Targeted strengthening, flexibility, and balance drills are updated each session according to your healing stage; structured active exercise is the main driver of lasting improvement after joint replacement.
2) Education and self-management – Clear guidance on pacing daily activities, using walking aids, and recognizing early warning signs empowers you to protect your new joint and maintain confidence.
