🦵 What to Expect After Joint Replacement Surgery
Undergoing a hip, knee, or shoulder replacement is a big step toward getting your life back. But remember — recovery isn’t a race. It’s a steady climb that takes time, patience, and teamwork between you and your physical therapist.

🩹 Weeks 1–2: Regaining Basic Mobility
💪 Weeks 3–6: Building Strength & Confidence
🚶‍♀️ Weeks 7–12: Returning to Daily Activities

This is when confidence grows!
You’ll work on mobility, endurance, and functional strength
Most patients feel major improvement by 10–12 weeks, though full recovery may take several months.

🧠 The Role of Physical Therapy

Physical therapy bridges the gap between surgery and full independence.
At Recover PT, you’ll work one-on-one with your therapist to rebuild strength, balance, and confidence safely.

🌟 Recovery Tips

✅ Stick to your PT plan — consistency is key
✅ Move a little every day
✅ Manage pain so you can stay active
✅ Eat protein and anti-inflammatory foods
✅ Be patient — progress looks different for everyone

💚 Staying Strong After Rehab

Once formal therapy ends, keep moving!
We’ll create a custom home program to maintain your progress and protect your new joint for years to come.
Low-impact exercises like walking, swimming, and cycling are great for joint health and long-term mobility.

✨ Recovery takes time — but with the right team, you’ll move better, feel stronger, and get back to doing what you love. ✨

💪 Strength Has No Age Limit
Getting older doesn’t mean slowing down — it means moving smarter.
At Recover Physical Therapy, we help patients of all ages stay strong, mobile, and independent through guided movement and personalized exercise programs.

Building strength isn’t just about lifting weights — it’s about protecting your joints, preventing injury, and keeping your body ready for the life you want to live.

🧠 In Your 30s: Build a Strong Foundation

Your body is resilient — make consistency your priority.
✅ Focus on core stability
✅ Add resistance training
✅ Combine cardio + strength for endurance
PT Tip: A quick movement assessment can help catch early weaknesses before they turn into injuries.

🦵 In Your 40s: Protect Joints & Stay Mobile
Aches and stiffness might creep in — focus on moving well.
✅ Use resistance bands or controlled weights
✅ Stretch dynamically before and statically after workouts
✅ Add balance exercises like yoga or single-leg stands

🦴 In Your 50s: Prioritize Bone Health & Balance
Muscle and bone loss can begin — fight it with movement.
✅ Do weight-bearing exercise (walking, stair climbing)
✅ Strength circuits 2–3x/week
✅ Try tai chi or gentle yoga for coordination and posture

🧍 In Your 60s: Move with Confidence

It’s not about intensity — it’s about consistency.
✅ Gentle resistance with bands or hand weights
✅ Core and balance drills
✅ Stretch to reduce stiffness

🌟 In Your 70s & Beyond: Stay Independent

Strength training helps you stay active and confident.
✅ Light resistance or seated exercises
✅ Standing balance drills
✅ Gentle flexibility work for comfort and mobility
PT Tip: Physical therapy can help you move safely and stay independent doing what you love.

No matter your decade, strength is easier (and safer) with professional guidance.

🌟 Address Your Low Back Pain With Core Strengthening PT 🌟

Low back pain is one of the most common health complaints — and while heat packs and over-the-counter meds may bring temporary relief, they don’t solve the root problem. At Recover Physical Therapy, our team in Slidell and Pearl River focuses on long-term solutions through core strengthening and manual therapy to help you move pain-free again. 💪🌀

💡 How Core Strengthening Helps

Weakness in the core can place extra stress on the spine. Strengthening the abdominals, hips, glutes, pelvic muscles, and back improves spinal stability and reduces your risk of recurring pain.

🛠️ What We Offer

✅ Neuromuscular Re-education – retrain your body to move the right way through guided exercises.
✅ Core Stabilization Training – build stability and coordination for lasting spinal support.
✅ Manual Therapy – hands-on techniques to restore mobility, reduce pain, and improve tissue health.
✅ Exercise Therapy – a customized home + clinic program to keep your progress moving forward.

✨ Every treatment plan starts with a comprehensive evaluation to uncover the underlying causes of your pain and design a program tailored to your needs.
