Hi. Was just wondering if anyone had tried Hydrotherapy either pre or post op. I had about 3-4 mths pre op and found it really kept me going when the arthritic pain got too unbearable. I was more able to bend and weight bear when weightless. Will see how Physio goes but may well make use of it post op as well

Janey,

I did hydrotherapy for 3 months following my TKR. LOVED it! That is what I contribute my ROM to. The therapist was in the water (which was 97 degrees ) and she was able to push more and I was able to tolerate the pushing more in the warm water. I did land therapy also. One week I did 2 days land and 1 day water, then the next week I would flip the schedule. I was thrilled with the results.

GOOD LUCK!
