What Is Inside
Five Modules. Four Phases. One Clear Path.

Post-surgical patients often leave the hospital with a generic sheet and a 6-week follow-up appointment. This course fills the gap with a protocol-driven guide you can actually follow at home.

🏥

Module 1: Understanding Your Surgery

What was done, what healed, and what the tissue timeline means for your exercise progression. Surgery-specific modules for TKA, THA, rotator cuff, and ACL.

🚨

Module 2: Red Flags and Safety

DVT signs, wound complication criteria, and when to call your surgeon immediately vs. when normal post-op discomfort is expected.

📅

Module 3: Phase 1 (Weeks 1-2)

Early activation, edema management, and protected mobility. Surgery-specific weight-bearing and precaution guidance.

💪

Module 4: Phase 2-3 (Weeks 3-12)

Progressive loading, functional strengthening, and gait normalization. 12 exercises with video demonstrations.

🏃

Module 5: Return to Function

Objective clearance criteria, return-to-sport timeline (where applicable), and long-term joint maintenance program.

Post-surgical rehabilitation must be coordinated with your surgical team.

If this course conflicts with your surgeon's instructions, follow your surgeon.

Seek immediate medical attention for: fever over 101.5°F, increasing redness or drainage at the incision, calf pain or swelling (DVT sign), sudden severe pain, or any loss of function beyond your pre-operative baseline.
