Hello, I’m José Illescas, a licensed physiotherapist with complete medical training, fluent in English, dedicated to evidence-based rehabilitation. After a knee or hip replacement, the strength and mobility you regain depend on the rehabilitation you do now.
Most rehabilitation follows one fixed protocol for everyone. But recovery isn’t the same for everyone. A diabetic patient heals differently and carries a higher infection risk. A patient on anticoagulants needs different caution. Swelling that’s normal at one stage is a warning sign at another — and a swollen, painful calf isn’t a rehabilitation problem, it’s a possible clot that must be recognized before the next exercise, not after.
This is what my medical training adds. I don’t only measure range of motion and progress exercises — I read your recovery clinically: whether healing is on track, whether a sign points to a complication, whether your conditions change how hard I should push. That judgment is what protects a new joint.
Your personalized program includes:
– Assessment at every visit of incision, swelling, range of motion and gait — interpreted, not just recorded.
– Progressive strengthening and mobility work, advanced to your healing stage and medical profile.
– A home program with clear milestones, so we catch a delay early.
Why choose me:
– I recognize complications, not just track exercises — telling normal recovery from a warning sign a standard protocol isn’t designed to catch.
– Recovery matched to your medical profile: diabetes, anticoagulants, healing capacity.
– Evidence-based throughout, not a one-size-fits-all routine.
