Getting Ready for Joint Replacement Surgery…Wisdom from the Director of McLean Rehabilitation

Dr. Robyn Ligotti, Director of Rehabilitation & Wellness at McLean, is recognized as an expert on rehabilitation after joint replacement surgery. Her doctorate focused on best practices for preparing patients for surgery, rehabilitation after surgery and wellness programs as they regain their active lives. Join Dr. Ligotti for an informative session if you are planning surgery in the next few months.

The focus of the workshop will be the different options for therapy after surgery including both physical and occupational therapies. She will explain the choices between outpatient, home care and post-acute rehab to provide information for you to discuss with your physician to determine together what’s right for you. The information will include what to expect from therapy and what the rehab process is expected to be after surgery. She will also share very practical suggestions for preparing the home for return after hospitalization. A home safety checklist will be provided as well as information on easy ways to maintain physical activity before surgery, to help with a speedy recovery.
