Our team guides you through appropriate exercises, monitors your range of motion and strength gains, and ensures you're meeting recovery milestones safely. Whether you're recovering from a total knee replacement, hip replacement, or shoulder arthroplasty, our convenient in-home care allows you to focus on recovery while receiving professional support in a comfortable environment.

Frequently asked questions about treatment for surgery rehab in San Mateo

How soon after joint replacement surgery should I start physical therapy?

Physical therapy typically begins within 24 hours of surgery. Early mobilization is crucial for preventing complications and achieving optimal outcomes. Your surgeon will provide specific guidelines for your case.

How long is the recovery process after joint replacement?

While everyone heals differently, most patients return to light activities within 6 weeks and full recovery typically occurs between 3-6 months. Knee replacements often require more intensive rehabilitation than hip replacements.

What should I expect during joint replacement rehabilitation?

Your PT will guide you through progressive exercises to improve range of motion, strength, and function. Initial focus is on pain management and basic movements, advancing to more challenging exercises and functional activities as you heal.

How can I prepare my home for recovery after joint surgery?

Our PTs will help you prepare with recommendations for adaptive equipment, home modifications, and pre-surgery exercises to optimize your recovery environment and outcomes.
