Recovery at home

Comfort matters.

Your routines may look a little different while you're recovering. Setting up your space for rest, movement and the things you'll need throughout the day can make home feel easier to navigate.

A comfortable place to land

Set up a place where you can rest with the things you use most within reach.

Make room for recovery

Set aside some uncluttered space to move around and do the at-home exercises provided by your physical therapist or care team. A little open floor space and a nearby chair or sturdy surface may be all you need.

Let people in

When people offer to help, give them something to do. Meals, errands, rides and everyday tasks are easy places to start.

Pain + swelling

Cold therapy is commonly used to help manage pain and swelling after orthopedic surgery.

From traditional ice packs to systems that combine circulating cold with compression, there are different ways to bring cold therapy into recovery.

Ask your care team whether cold or compression is appropriate for your recovery, and follow their instructions.
