👣 Post-Op Knee Replacement Facts You Should Know

Recovering from a knee replacement? Here are some facts that surprise most patients:

✔ Walking starts early. Many patients are up and walking the same day or next morning.
✔ Swelling is normal for several weeks — sometimes even a few months.
✔ Consistency beats intensity. Gentle, regular movement helps far more than pushing through pain.
✔ Extension (straightening) is key. Getting the knee fully straight is just as important as bending it.
✔ Strength continues to improve for up to a year. Progress doesn’t stop after a few weeks!

💡 PT Fun Fact:
Ever heard of dry needling? It’s a special technique physical therapists use to help muscles relax and heal.
🪡 Super-thin needles are placed gently into tight spots (called “trigger points”) — and your muscle may do a tiny jump or twitch.
That small twitch means your muscle is starting to relax and let go of tension.
✅ It can help with:
• Stiff necks or backs
• Sore shoulders and legs
• Sports injuries
• Everyday aches and pains
It’s quick, safe, and helps everyone — from young athletes to anyone who just wants to move and feel better every day.
Curious if it could help you? Ask one of our PTs — we love explaining how it works

Still Dealing with Back Pain? Here’s What’s Really Going On.

Back pain is one of the most common reasons people miss work, skip workouts, or just feel stuck — but here’s the truth:
👉 Most back pain doesn’t start in the back.

💡 Common root causes we see every day:
- Weak core + glutes — your lower back takes the load meant for your hips.
- Tight hips or hamstrings — limiting how you move and forcing compensation.
- Poor posture habits — long hours sitting or standing in one position.
- Stress + tension — yes, your muscles respond to your mindset.

The good news? You don’t have to “just live with it.”
Physical therapy can help identify why your back hurts, restore proper movement, and teach you how to keep it from coming back.
