Joint Journey

Most orthopaedic patients are different from other hospital patients. They aren't sick, they just have a bad hip or knee.

Our Joint Journey program focuses on the unique needs of orthopaedic patients. You'll even wear your own exercise clothes instead of a hospital gown.

This program:

  • Has proven results
  • Helps you smoothly progress from surgery to recovery
  • Emphasizes wellness
  • Involves group rehabilitation exercises
  • Engages family and friends
  • Gets high scores from past patients

Joint Journey

Joint Journey provides information and support from the time surgery is scheduled through the weeks and months following discharge from the hospital.

Joint Journey focuses on returning you home following a 1-3 day hospital stay. You'll be encouraged to follow an exercise and mobility training plan after surgery.

Joint replacement class
