Successful recovery after knee or hip replacement includes a structured inpatient rehabilitation stay of 7–10 days. During this time, patients receive comprehensive post-operative care, with physicians on site and continuous medical supervision.
The program is designed to support mobility, restore function, and ensure every aspect of recovery is managed effectively for the best possible outcome.
Lithuanian rehabilitation protocols are designed to begin therapeutic movement immediately after surgery, ensuring early activation and better long-term results.

The Continuous Passive Motion (CPM) machine supports early recovery after total knee replacement by gently improving range of motion and preventing stiffness. It promotes circulation, reduces swelling, and helps limit scar tissue formation, contributing to a smoother and more effective rehabilitation process.
Massage therapy plays an important role in recovery following joint replacement surgery. It helps reduce swelling and improves circulation, which supports tissue healing. Gentle techniques can decrease muscle tension and stiffness around the joint, improving comfort and mobility. Massage also assists in reducing post-operative pain and promoting relaxation. When integrated with physiotherapy, it contributes to a more effective and well-rounded rehabilitation process.
Transcutaneous Electrical Nerve Stimulation (TENS) is beneficial after joint replacement as it helps manage post-operative pain without the need for additional medication. By delivering gentle electrical impulses, it reduces pain signals and promotes muscle relaxation. This allows patients to participate more comfortably in rehabilitation and supports a smoother recovery process.
BOSL lymphatic drainage therapy is beneficial after joint replacement as it helps reduce post-operative swelling by stimulating the lymphatic system and promoting fluid drainage. This supports faster healing, decreases discomfort, and improves mobility in the early stages of recovery. By enhancing circulation and reducing inflammation, it contributes to a more efficient and comfortable rehabilitation process.
Preparing your body before surgery can make a significant difference in your recovery. Improving your strength, flexibility, and overall fitness before your procedure helps your body heal faster and may reduce complications after surgery. Patients who stay active before surgery often regain mobility sooner and feel more confident during rehabilitation.
