How Long Will My Recovery Take?
Your recovery time depends on your procedure, age, fitness, motivation and other factors. Ask your care team how long you’ll need rehabilitation therapy.
After knee replacement, most people need two or three sessions of outpatient therapy each week for six to eight weeks. Following hip replacement, you may need home therapy for two or three weeks, then two or three weekly sessions of outpatient therapy for three to four weeks.
