THE BEE’S KNEES PODCASTStories, articles, interviews of knee surgery and recovery… and life after surgery.
We focus on the patient in this weekly podcast. Our objective is to improve the whole knee replacement (and other knee surgeries) experience from months before surgery to months afterwards. In the pod you will also learn about the pre and post-surgery tool, The X10 Knee Recovery System™.
X10 is a proud supporter of Knee Radio 1, a 24/7 radio station all about knee surgery recovery. It’s a broadcast of the best of The Bee’s Knees Podcast.
New content is added on an ongoing basis: interviews with knee surgeons, physical therapists, knee researchers, and knee patients. The hosts on Knee Radio 1 explore threats to a proper knee replacement recovery and a wide range of clinical topics. There is a full 6-hour show on Saturdays (noon to 6:00 p.m.) devoted to Preparation for Knee Replacement (Saturday Prehab). The shows provide health and wellness programming to inspire you to be healthy after a knee surgery.

After surgery, you have a number of changes that take place, all part of normal reactive, reparative process. These types of changes take place with most any trauma or injury, whether it be to skin surfaces or deeper. These changes are induced by a variety of factors that act kind of in a cascade formation, in a cascade manner.

Strength After Knee Surgery. You know that whole use it or lose it, that’s real. That really happens. A quick lesson on building strength after knee surgery.

An interview with Dr. Carl Freeman about CPM, X10, Pre-hab and patient results after knee replacement. We also discuss the new “arthroplasty results” study authored by Dr. Roubal and Dr. Freeman as well as a recent research publication by Dr. Calatayud about the value of Pre-hab before surgery.
