With proper post-operative therapy and care, joint replacement surgery is over 90%* successful in reducing pain and improving overall quality of life. HCR offers an extensive pre-operative in-home assessment designed to identify and correct barriers to successful and timely hospital discharge.
Physical therapy is your fundamental path to recovery after joint replacement, and HCR offers intensive support and therapy to get you on your feet quickly. We provide the education and guidance to reduce your recovery time and regain the function you desire.
HCR’s Joint Replacement Team offers intensive support and therapy within 24-48 hours of discharge, using an early, intensive physical therapy protocol when a patient comes directly home from the hospital. We have full-time coverage for weekends. Therefore, patients see our Physical Therapists on Saturday or Sunday when the need arises. This will ensure a seamless transition back home early in the rehabilitation process.
Our personal research ensures you receive the highest quality of service in your community, and our prompt and frequent treatment ensures a quicker pace of recovery. HCR’s therapy department uses a collaborative practice model, where experts can be called upon as part of the team, as needed, across all our locations. These resources enable all our practitioners to achieve optimal outcomes.
