🛌 The Healing Power of Sleep After Orthopedic Surgery 🛌

Did you know that sleep is just as essential as physical therapy and medication during recovery from orthopedic surgery? From reducing inflammation and pain to boosting tissue repair and emotional resilience, sleep plays a critical role in your rehabilitation journey.

💡 Key benefits of quality sleep during recovery:
✔️ Speeds up tissue and muscle healing
✔️ Helps manage pain and inflammation
✔️ Supports emotional well-being
✔️ Enhances physical therapy outcomes
✔️ Reduces risk of complications like infection

Whether you're recovering from a joint replacement, fracture, or ligament repair, prioritizing restful sleep can transform your recovery experience.

To honor the start of Physical Therapy Month, our physical therapists—and one of our great occupational therapists—did a Goniometer Measurement Challenge. A goniometer is a tool that is often used in physical therapy to measure the range of motion a joint has. Our physical therapists were required to measure 127 Degrees WITH only using the arms of the goniometer.

Do you see your physical therapist (or occupational therapist)? Comment below !👇

Do you think you could get 127 degrees? Attempt the challenge next time you’re at therapy—take a video and tag us! Good luck! 🍀👍

We will be back with more PT month fun next week!
