Exercising After Surgery<br />
Exercise is of great value to get the best results from your joint replacement surgery. You will<br />
need to keep doing your exercise program at an outpatient health site or at home as ordered<br />
by your surgeon when you leave the hospital.<br />
We offer choices for you to keep your PT going once you leave the hospital.<br />
Outpatient PT care can be set up at many places including <strong>Christiana</strong> <strong>Care</strong>’s PT PLUS or if<br />
you are not able to travel from your home preparations can be made through <strong>Christiana</strong><br />
<strong>Care</strong>’s Visiting Nurse Association or any other provider. (For a list of outpatient PT clinics,<br />
see “Outpatient PT Facilities” found in the FYI section of your notebook. )Your case manager<br />
will firm up these plans before you go home from the hospital.<br />
No matter what you choose, exercise is of great value to your care. It will support rapid healing<br />
and help you return to a more normal lifestyle.<br />
Please bring your notebook to all PT visits . After each session, ask your therapist to mark in<br />
your <strong>Notebook</strong> the right exercises for you. The goals and steps to take are listed on the next<br />
few pages.
