Have you had a recent total joint replacement of the knee or hip? Do you still have pain or weakness when walking, climbing stairs, or squatting down to retrieve a dropped item? You may benefit from physiotherapy after surgery. At The Physiotherapy Center LTD., our physiotherapists can provide you with the guidance you need to restore your motion, strength, and ability to perform daily activities without pain or limits! A total joint replacement is a surgical procedure where the arthritic or damaged joints are removed and replaced with a device called a prosthesis. The prosthesis is designed to replicate the movement and function of a normal joint. Our clinic provides joint replacement rehabilitation to those who had a replacement procedure or even those experiencing limitations months and even years after their procedure. If your knee and/or hip joints are a constant source of pain, weakness, or limitation in any way, The Physiotherapy Center LTD. can help provide you with some relief. Call today to schedule an appointment with one of our specialists! FINDING RELIEF AFTER TOTAL JOINT REPLACEMENT

HOW TO TELL WHEN YOU NEED A JOINT REPLACEMENT
If you have tried treatments including medication, physiotherapy, and activity modifications without relief, you may be a candidate for a total joint replacement.
The most common reasons for a joint replacement include:
1. Severe joint damage. This is typically due to advanced/end stages of osteoarthritis or rheumatoid arthritis. 2. Severe trauma to the joint(s). Fractures and dislocations often lead to joint replacements. Some injuries can only be addressed through surgical treatment, depending on how critical the damage was. 3. Chronic pain. If your pain constantly affects your daily life and no other treatments have seemed to help, your doctor may suggest surgery. If you believe you may require total joint replacement surgery, it is essential to prepare yourself for the process.
What can you do to prepare for total joint surgery?
Consulting with one of our physiotherapists can help prepare you physically, mentally, and emotionally for your upcoming surgery. Understanding what to expect has been shown to help achieve post-operative goals faster. Our pre-operative assessment and treatment session helps decrease the length of stay post-operatively, reduces anxiety before and after surgery, improves self-confidence, and establishes a relationship with your physiotherapist. You can help ensure a smooth surgery and speedy recovery by planning. You can also ensure an early return of your function by learning what to expect and what exercises to perform. In addition, you can take steps to manage your first weeks at home by arranging for help and preparing with assistive items, such as a shower bench or a long-handled reacher.
Your initial appointment will consist of a physical evaluation to determine what course of treatment will be best for your needs. Your physiotherapist will create a specialized treatment plan based on your assessment to rehabilitate and bring you back to your optimum physical health. At first, your treatment plan will consist of passive physiotherapy, primarily focused on pain relief, swelling control, and restoring basic mobility. This may include manual therapy, gentle therapeutic exercises, or any other combination of treatment services that your physiotherapist deems for your treatment plan. After your passive therapy, you will continue into active physiotherapy treatments. These will include strengthening exercises, balance, and gait training to ensure you progress while simultaneously preventing falls or other injuries that could inhibit your progress. In addition, at-home treatments will help make your recovery as quick and comfortable as possible, so your knee or hip can get back to its normal level of function!
Physiotherapy after total joint replacement
Whether you have total hip or total knee replacement, physiotherapy will be necessary for rehabilitation. Your physiotherapist will provide a treatment plan for you that will assist in restoring your range of motion, flexibility, strength, endurance, and overall mobility of the affected joint.

Pistachio Star Cookies
Ingredients: • 4 2/3 c. roasted, lightly salted pistachios • 3 3/4 c. confectioners’ sugar
• 1/2 tsp. ground cinnamon • 2 large egg whites • 1 large egg white • 1 c. confectioners’ sugar
Directions: In a food processor, grind the pistachios until fine. Add 2 3⁄4 c of the confectioners’ sugar and the cinnamon. Continue pulsing to make a fine powder. Add the egg whites and process until the dough comes together. Preheat the oven to 300 . Line 2 baking sheets with parchment paper. Sprinkle a work surface with the remaining 1 c of confectioners’ sugar. Knead the dough on the surface to create a cohesive dough. Roll out the dough until 1⁄4 in thick. Cut out cookies with a 2-in star cookie cutter. Place the cookies about 1⁄2 in apart on the pans. Gather the dough scraps, then reroll and cut out more stars. Whisk the egg white in a metal bowl until medium-stiff peaks form. Whisk in the confectioners’ sugar, 1 tbsp at a time, until thick and smooth. Transfer the meringue to a piping bag or a zip-top bag. Pipe the meringue on top of the cookies. Bake the cookies for 15 to 17 min. Let cool 5 min on the baking sheets, then transfer to a rack to cool completely https://www.thepioneerwoman.com/food-cooking/recipes/a34705251/gesine-prado- pistachio-star-cookies/

3 HEALTH TIPS FOR THE HOLIDAY SEASON How busy are you this holiday season? At The Physiotherapy Center LTD. we understand that this time can be both joyful and hectic. In the midst of it all, it can feel easy to let your health slip through the cracks. 2. Stay active
Exercise supports both your mental and physical health and is an integral part of a healthy lifestyle. The great thing about exercising is that there’s certainly no shortage of ways to get active! From going down to the park with your kids, walking around the neighborhood, biking, doing yoga, or hitting the gym, there are many ways to make exercising fit into your busy lifestyle.
Are you concerned about maintaining your health this winter, but are feeling overwhelmed or don’t know where to start? If so, check out these 3 tips for staying fit during the holidays.
1. Make sure you’re getting enough sleep
3. Don’t skip meals
With everything that goes on during December and January, it’s understandable to search for more time in the day. Sacrificing your sleep, however, will end up doing you more harm than good. Sleep is how the body recovers and recharges. Poor sleeping habits are linked to an increased risk of heart disease, reduced cognition, and mood shifts. Aim to get 7-8 hours a night, every night.
With big Christmas lunches and dinners to look forward to, it can sometimes be tempting to eat less food during the day to save room for later. However, this can actually encourage you to make less healthy choices and have an unbalanced diet. Eating one big meal a day can also increase your blood pressure and cholesterol. Instead, try to eat regular meals with servings of lean protein, fruits, and vegetables.
