Feel Weight Lifted From Your Shoulders With PHYSICAL THERAPY AFTER TOTAL SHOULDER REPLACEMENT
Do you suffer from pain in your shoulder? Have you been told you have severe arthritis and need a shoulder replacement? Total shoulder replacement (i.e., total shoulder arthroplasty, or TSA) is a surgical procedure to replace part or all of the shoulder joint. After a total shoulder replacement, it can be challenging to perform daily activities. Fortunately, at OSR Physical Therapy, our physical therapist can help guide you through rehabilitation after surgery so you can get back to your everyday life as quickly as possible. Shoulder replacements are a standard procedure that many people undergo, especially those suffering from arthritic pain or severely damaged rotator cuff muscles in the shoulder joint. Although they are less common than a knee or hip replacement, according to the APTA, around 65,000 people have shoulder arthroplasties in the U.S. each year. If you have recently had a total shoulder replacement procedure, or you have one planned in the near future, contact OSR Physical Therapy today to find out more about how we can help you achieve relief and recovery. How physical therapy can help To ensure the best results following shoulder replacement surgery, it would be in your best interest to participate in both "pre-hab" physical therapy (therapy before surgery) and post-op physical therapy. The more you prepare before your procedure, the better your recovery. Our therapists can provide you with exercises to ensure you go into surgery with the healthiest shoulder possible. Your physical therapist will create a customized program for you. This may include strengthening of the shoulder, neck, and backmuscles. Mobility exercises and posture training may also be part of your pre-surgery program. We will also educate you about what to expect after surgery to prepare you for the procedure.
Article Continues Inside >> Preparing before surgery will help keep your shoulder functioning the best you can, so the procedure and the recovery are much smoother. Restoring range of motion and strength following total shoulder replacement is considered critical for a successful outcome post-surgery. Physical therapy that starts early after surgery will offer a more rapid recovery. You will be provided with information on any precautions you should take as your shoulder heals, such as wearing a sling or brace or limiting certain activities. It is important to follow your physical therapist's guidance to ensure you allow for proper healing and optimal results. Your therapist will teach you how to deal with simple tasks, such as brushing your teeth, getting dressed, getting in and out of bed, and safely removing/ putting on your sling. Early on, you will also be taught helpful tips to reduce pain and swelling, such as how to elevate your arm correctly or where to apply ice packs. As your recovery progresses, your exercises will become more intensive until the function in your shoulder is fully regained. You will be guided through a series of exercises, all aimed at relieving pain, promoting healing, restoring motion and strength to restore your function, and preventing any further damage from occurring.

What To Expect At Your Physical Therapy Visits
We will start with a post-surgical evaluation that includes checking your wound to ensure no infection has formed. Your therapist will also ask a series of questions to determine your current status and your individual goals. Our physical therapists aremovement experts andwill help improve your quality of life through hands-on care, patient education, and prescribed exercises. We use the information gathered in the initial evaluation to develop a comprehensive program that includes targeted manual techniques, mobility work, strengthening, and any appropriate pain relief technique. Rehabilitation should start immediately following surgery to ensure the fastest recovery possible. Once you get your shoulders moving again, there are some exercises you can do on your own, and your physical therapist will provide clear instructions to ensure you have the best possible outcome!
