PT for how long?

Posted by dna41 @dna41, 19 hours ago

I had my TKR on March 9, 2026. I had PT in my home 1 or 2 times a week until the end of May. Then I decided that I didn't need any more and I let the therapist go. Should I have gone longer? What is the common length of time?

Interested in more discussions like this? Go to the Joint Replacements Support Group.

dna41, I think the average time is 12 weeks, unless, you are released sooner. I had my TKR on March 23rd, 2026. I missed a few sessions due to illness. I was going twice a week, now I only go once a week.

How do you think you are doing without the PT?

I have extended mine due to balance issues and my gait. I am still doing exercises at home faithfully.

Prayers & Blessings....

what is your range of motion I think is the big question. And keep up your strength and balance and heel slides. Ask your surgeon for a check up and get that input.
