how to recovery fully after having a surgery on the knee
Hello Ronald Marsh,
You also want to add patience/time to the recovery period. Make sure to listen to the body when progressing from the physical therapy moves: do not push too hard, just give the body a nudge towards better strength and flexibility for full ROM to be the goal.
Full recovery is different for everyone; so, find out what that means for the client and help them achieve their definition of full recovery. Let your professional opinion and training, guide the client towards a realistic definition of full recovery: many times, 90% return to previous activity level may be the best we can get.
Do not underestimate the power of managing stress, sleep and nutrition.
Thank you,
Natalie aka NAPS 2 B Fit.
