Today we continue with our mini series on Joint Replacements, specifically the knee. Kicking it off with us is PT George Poscover to discuss the ins and and outs of rehabilitation following a knee replacement.

George has a unique role in this in that he treats patients in prehab, in the PACU immediately post op, then in the outpatient setting ultimately helping patients return to their goals.

George walks us through the process of hearing the news of needing a knee replacement, all the way to following up years later and hearing about continued improvements made outside of PT.
