Chris Nowacki spends time with us discussing her husband’s bilateral knee replacement. Wallander (Wally) Nowacki was an Olympic cyclist early in his life. Finding himself in need of two new knees last age 65 he took the leap and did both knees at once.
I present building strength after knee surgery here so you can be an exception to the majority of knee patients who suffer a huge strength deficit after surgery… a deficit that can linger for weeks, months and even years.
Came home, started using it immediately a couple times a day. It doesn’t hurt because the machine knows when it’s putting too much pressure on you, and it will stop if it realizes that you’re getting too much pressure. It’s incredibly easy to use. I am so far ahead of where I would have been if I hadn’t found it simply because you don’t get any feedback on your own.
Melissa’s full report four weeks after bilateral knee replacement. Driving. Walking the dog. Off assisted devices. No pain meds. A textbook recovery.
Just when you think you can’t go any further, you keep pushing forward and within a few days (maybe even a week), you will see your hard work pay off.
Donna reached out to X10 in late spring to talk about using the program for a single total knee replacement planned for that summer. She did some exploration of doing both knees at once and ultimately went in that direction. Donna discusses deciding on bilateral knee replacement and her recovery here.
I decided I needed to look for something different. I came across a testimonial. Someone had done this thing called the X10. Once I had that word, the X10, X10 Therapy, a whole world came tumbling open to me.
It took Nancy 13 days to get well. Without the Biodex machine at the clinic. Without a physical therapist. Without the pain. Nancy followed our program, worked daily with her X10 Patient Recovery Coach, dedicated herself to her recovery.
This is a recipe that I crafted with you in mind. I have met many of our patients over the years – at least on the phone. We’re so happy to have helped thousands of people get better after knee surgery.
Since the advent of knee replacement doctors understood that the operation eliminated arthritic pain, but did not restore patient to full function. Restoring full function required therapy post surgery. We present here the truth behind the CPM with the hope that patients who are presented with the CPM as an option for post surgery recovery will be empowered to make an informed decision on whether or not to use it. – Dr. David Halley
