Total Shoulder Replacement
The Most Innovative Physical Therapy Rehabilitation Program In Greater Phoenix
What Is A Total Shoulder Replacement?
The total shoulder replacement (TSR) also know as a total shoulder arthroplasty (TSA) is usually a last resort treatment for end stage osteoarthritis of the shoulder. The total shoulder replacement involves sugically removing and replacing the working surfaces of the shoulder joint with artificial prosthetic components.
How Long Does It Take To Recover From A Total Shoulder Replacement?
Although everyone is different, most patient require about 8-12 weeks to regain most function following a total shoulder replacement. It may take up to 6+ months to fully recover and achieve all functional goals. Individual recovery is largely dependent on compliance with pre-surgical and post-surgical physical therapy.
Physical Therapy Following A Total Shoulder Replacement
Physical therapy following a total shoulder replacement is initially aimed at managing pain, decreasing swelling, preventing buildup of scar tissue and maintaining range of motion. A gradual strengthening program will be implemented as tolerated to promote strength of the muscles surrounding your shoulder. Finally an emphasis will be placed on returning to full function and achieving your specific goals.
