Episode 92: The Last 10% After Knee Replacement (When You Finally Start Thinking About Your Life Again)
Description
Episode 92 explores why many people describe themselves as “ninety percent better” after knee replacement while still feeling that something is unfinished. Michelle explains the differences between pain relief, strength, endurance, movement quality, participation, and the expectation that an artificial knee should feel completely natural. The Episode offers a practical way to identify whether the remaining limitation needs training, repeated practice, professional assessment, or a more realistic benchmark. It also explains which changes should prompt a conversation with a surgeon or another qualified healthcare professional.
