The Pre-Surgery Knee Replacement Course

You’ll learn what a total knee replacement (TKA) involves, what to expect, and whether you’ve truly exhausted non-surgical options like physical therapy. It’s designed to help you feel confident in your decision.

Gain a clear understanding of what your surgery entails and how to talk to your surgeon. You’ll learn what questions to ask, about surgical techniques, and whether you qualify for newer or less invasive procedures.

This course includes the full pre-op exercise program from the Prehab Course. You’ll get beginner, intermediate, and advanced-level strengthening routines for your legs, arms, and core—for a smoother recovery.

Learn how to set up your living space to support your recovery. How to prepare your bedroom, bathroom, and other areas of your home. You’ll also get a full checklist of equipment you may need, so you’re not caught off guard after surgery.

Get a detailed look at what the day after surgery will look like. You’ll learn how to safely use a walker, get in and out of bed, manage stairs, and begin your very first physical therapy exercises.
