@ellerbracke - My doctor ordered in-home PT 3 times a week until I was able to drive, then outpatient twice a week for 6 to 8 weeks. I'm doing this with my left TKR now (surgery 1/29) and I did it with my right TKR (done in April 2017). I thought that the PT was one of the key factors in my successful recovery. My therapists give me the exercises, watch me do them, correct my form when needed, and walk with me when we do outside walks. It's kind of like having a personal trainer. I definitely push myself harder when I'm with the therapist vs. the days I'm on my own. I may be especially fortunate to have GREAT therapists, but both of them have anticipated when I could do more, encouraged me to try harder AND reigned me in when I tried to do too much. Last week, I was at 3 weeks post-surgery and I had full knee extension and 128 degrees flexion. My outpatient physical therapist says we are going to work on balance and functional skills along with maintaining the ROM - and getting up to 130 degrees where I was before the surgery. Bottom line is that I would not have been where I am without these caring and skilled physical therapists.
