Knee Exercises Prior To Replacement
.avif)
You're ready for your knee to be back to moving again. We've created courses that help you through each stage.
As a Physical Therapist for thousands of patients, I noticed there was a lack of information being provided to patients before, during and after surgery. I witnessed patients experiencing frustration and prolonged pain. I created Succeed Courses so that you can get the tools to confidently prepare and recover from your knee replacement surgery. Experience strength, confidence, and mobility throughout your recovery!
Do you need more exercise ideas to deal with weakness or stiffness? Need help with limping, IT band pain, kneeling? Want a knee replacement specialist at your fingertips who focuses on YOU? I can help you with all of this in the Succeed Membership Group!

A shower chair will be essential for your safety after knee surgery. Falls often happen in the bathroom. After surgery, you are at more risk of falling due to fatigue, new medication and leg weakness. Please get a shower chair for your safety!
A walker will be necessary for your safety for a few weeks. If you want to purchase a walker before surgery, practice walking in your home with it so you can be extra prepared!
Use walker skiis instead of tennis balls for your walker! The back legs of the walker come with rubber caps. You will need to replace them so you can use the walker properly.
