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!

Depending on your mobility after surgery and your home set up, you may need a bedside commode for safety. The bucket can also be removed so you can place the frame over your toilet for help with getting on/off the toilet easier.
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!
This is my favorite “under the desk” bike. It is more expensive, but it is sturdy, quiet and reliable. It won’t move around on the ground since it is fairly heavy. You will want to keep it in one place in your home since it is hard to move. You can also add resistance to the bike, if needed. Typically, after a knee replacement, biking without resistance is more effective for managing stiffness and improve knee bending.
