Recover from hip or knee replacement at home—and get back to your life.

For many patients recovering from an uncomplicated hip or knee replacement, physical therapy can be provided safely at home when your surgeon’s instructions and medical status support it. Your first visit includes an assessment of walking, transfers, fall risk, symptoms, and the space where you are moving. If your condition requires medical attention or a different level of care, you will be told directly.

Timing depends on your surgeon’s instructions, medical status, and care setting. Many patients begin basic movement very early and transition to mobile outpatient care when it is appropriate.

Self-pay care allows the visit to stay one-on-one and the plan to be organized around your goals, schedule, and home environment. Coverage and billing questions should be reviewed before scheduling.

Many important recovery tasks can be assessed and trained with portable equipment, body weight, household surfaces, stairs, and progressively loaded exercise. If your needs require equipment or a setting that is not available at home, that will be discussed directly.

No perfect setup is required. A small safe area to walk and exercise is usually enough, and the real home environment often helps identify practical solutions.

Argan provides mobile outpatient physical therapy. Home health is a different level of care with separate eligibility, coverage, and coordination rules.

The packet is an important starting point. Physical therapy adds assessment, individualized dosage, response monitoring, progression, and help connecting exercises to walking, stairs, and the activities you want back.
