2500 Miles For Knee Recovery
2,500 Miles For Knee Recovery, Rick’s incredible story of recovery from total knee replacement. Sometimes it takes great lengths to get that knee to bend.
AVOID MANIPULATION UNDER ANESTHESIA (MUA)There is hope to avoiding a Manipulation Under Anesthesia. The X10 Knee Recovery System™ stands alone in its ability to accomplish this challenging task.
The key principles here are FREQUENCY of movement to a CHALLENGING flexion or extension angle WITHOUT PAIN. The key to the success of the X10 is its unique ability to feel a patients tightness (measured by lbs. of pressure) and make instant adjustments. This protects the patient from going too far too fast.

Help! I’m stuck!
Yes, that was me nine weeks post surgery for total knee replacement. I could not get past 100º on my own or 105º with the therapist. For several years I had been going to the gym three or four times a week for yoga, Pilates, stretch and flex, and interval classes, so this degree of motion was not acceptable to me.
The total knee replacement (TKA) was on December 3, 2019. By mid-January, it was apparent that the recovery had stalled. On February 4, 2020, two months after his knee replacement, at only 88º of flexion, Gary started on X10.
Both of my knees were injured on 9/11. I was crushed in Tower Two when it collapsed. I had immediate surgeries, right after 9/11. On August 21, 2019, I had my left knee replaced. It was robotic surgery. Everything went well with the surgery and the replacement, but the recovery was a different story.
Everything I had heard of that scared me, also I was not able to take anymore time off of work. I was searching online for exercises and things to do, and the X10 kept popping up on my searches. Not knowing what it was, finally after about the third time of it popping up I said, “All right, I have to check this out.”
