BoneSmart's recommendations have never been to not have physical therapy. In most cases, recovery can be enhanced with a good therapist who knows not to push hard, especially in those early weeks when things are healing. It is also possible to do what you did and have a great recovery on your own. But most people benefit from at least some time with a therapist to learn some basic exercises that will help regain flexion and extension.On today's TKR zoom meeting the facilitator mentioned a number of times the outcome of TKR was dependent on the skill of the surgeon and commitment to PT.
PT really wasn't good for me, I quit and went on my own with fine results.
But I was surprised to hear the Dr mention PT so often. Is Bonesmart changing its PT recommendation?
