Knee Replacement Physical Therapy week 1
Well it’s been a week and PT seems to be going pretty well and my angle of my knee is almost to 90% which is really good. My trusty assistant has been muscling me through physical therapy exercises .It’s been kind of difficult but she seems to know when to push me a little more than I want to go.
