Long-Term Maintenance After Surgical Rehabilitation

After completing formal rehabilitation, maintaining your health and mobility becomes a lifelong process. Continuing exercises prescribed by your physical therapist helps prevent re-injury and supports joint health. Regular physical activity, such as swimming, walking, or low-impact aerobics, helps maintain strength and flexibility. It's also important to manage weight, as extra pounds put additional stress on your joints and surgical site. Staying active, eating well, and avoiding high-impact activities or heavy lifting are key to long-term success. Regular check-ins with your doctor or therapist ensure that you're on track for a healthy recovery.
