Episode 46: How to Keep Moving Forward When Progress Feels Slower (Staying Engaged Without Chasing Perfection)
Description
In Episode 46 of the Total Knee Success podcast, Michelle explains how to stay engaged after knee replacement when progress feels slower and less obvious. She discusses why mid-phase slowdowns are normal and why consistency, rather than constant testing or perfection, supports continued improvement. Michelle introduces ten research-informed activity options often used between three and six months after surgery and encourages listeners to use these as a starting point for thoughtful conversations with their physical therapist about where to focus next.
