What Is Joint Replacement Rehabilitation?

Our physical therapists address stiffness, weakness, balance limitations, walking difficulties, and reduced confidence. Treatment progresses according to your surgeon’s guidance, physical abilities, and response to exercise.

Your plan may combine mobility work, strengthening, walking practice, balance training, education, and advanced rehabilitation technology. Every stage is connected to the activities you want to regain.

HRV and NEUBIE Therapy: A Holistic Approach to Healing

NEUBIE Therapy uses advanced e-stim technology to accelerate muscle recovery, reduce pain, and reeducate the neuromuscular system to improve overall functionality. NEUBIE (Neuro-Bio-Electric Stimulator) utilizes direct current stimulation, which enhances the body’s ability to repair and recover more effectively than traditional therapies. NEUBIE is highly effective for muscle reactivation, injury recovery, and correcting dysfunctional movement patterns.

When used together, HRV and NEUBIE Therapy provide a holistic treatment that addresses both the nervous system and the muscular system, offering patients an optimal path to recovery and performance. Here’s how they work in tandem:
