After you have received your knee replacement, the rehabilitation is where the real work begins and your success will depend on your ability to concentrate and,focus on your exercise and instructions given by your rehabilitation professional. Following are three tips that you can use when receiving physical therapy not only for a knee replacement but after any orthopedic surgery for that matter.

1. Turn off all media outlets. There is nothing more disturbing to a physical therapy session then to have a radio or television that you have to compete with. Though you may be watching something that is important to you, your full concentration cannot be given with one eye or ear to the media outlet and another on to your rehabilitation professional. You will be expected to learn the exercises to complete on your off days from rehab so, getting the lesson down with a full understanding is vital if you want to succeed and see results fast.

2. Keep the animals out of the room. Yes this is a big one. Everyone loves their animals however you will be hard pressed to concentrate on instruction and feel the appropriate muscles working with the dog or cat jumping into the middle of the exercise session. This happens more then you can imagine. To fully concentrate and actually visualize the knee and other muscular structures working, you need to keep your eye on the body part and not on the pet that may jump on that fresh incision.

3. Keep family members out. Now this is a tricky one. keeping out family members include the kids for instance that cannot settle down or the brother or sister that cannot help but share their personal problems or aches and pains with the physical therapist. After all they are there to help you. Now there is absolutely nothing wrong with a caregiver, spouse, or friend that is assisting you with your exercises and would like to observe to sit and learn. it is welcomed for the most part and there are times when having someone there can be reassuring just for moral support.

Keeping your full focus and total concentration during your exercise session is simply a matter of reducing outside interferences so that your session is efficient and productive. Keeping focused then allows you to connect your mind to the muscle groups being exercised which in turns magnifies your results.
