Physical Therapy for Joint Replacements in New Jersey
Recover Faster with APT Joint Replacement Physical Therapy Programs
At APT, we know firsthand what the recovery is like for a joint replacement. Our founder had a shoulder replacement at just 19. Unable to go back to his college sports career and frustrated by the slow progress of physical therapy, he found himself in the pool. He tested out plenty of equipment to add to his water workout and found his range of movement began to increase quickly. He began to train others in the pool and saw their great results too. It was clear that this form of exercise was needed on a larger scale, so he set up APT. He’s gathered a team with varied backgrounds so with us your physical therapy after knee replacement is a whole package.
We can help you with nutrition on top of your exercises and we know how to change up your routines with specialized equipment for maximum benefit. This also helps your workouts stay fun, so you’ll stick to them and have the recovery you deserve.
Benefit from Supported Joints in Your Rehabilitation
One of the reasons that working out in a pool is easier is because the water supports you. This allows your joints to move more easily than on land so you can use the time in the pool to build a wider range of movement. This is so important after a joint replacement as it helps you get back to your normal activities. Moving as much as you can in this way also ensures good circulation, bringing blood to the injured joint which brings down swelling and aids healing. Injuries require white blood cells to prevent infection, and oxygen and nutrients to heal so maintaining good circulation is key to a speedy healthy recovery.
If you’ve found traditional knee replacement physical therapy has brought a lot of pain along with it, you may find more relief in the pool. One of the reasons muscles hurt after exercise is that lactic acid has built up in them. Water provides gentle pressure alongside support which means your body breaks down this acid more efficiently in water than on land so there’s less pain after pool exercise.
There’s also less trauma on the muscles as you’re not landing on a hard surface when in the water. This means your muscles need less recovery time and you don’t have sore, tight muscles afterwards. In fact, the water adds resistance so doing your water exercises in the pool can help tone and build the muscles around your new joint helping to strengthen it.
