Good video info thanks. I have loved using heat bags after TKR (now 12 weeks post op) helps with pain aches if walked a lot been on feet standing too much found very relaxing comforting.
Thanks for this video! Are used heat a lot before my surgery because it helped me do my exercises. I was thinking that using heat would help me to be able to bend my knee better for full range of motion for I am only at 90° or so.
The heat is a good option to relax muscles and soft tissue and helps with pain management. A good technique to use before doing your range of motion exercises.
@@KneeReplacementTherapists that is exactly what I used the heat for! I can totally see how heat can be beneficial for loosening up. I it almost seems like the no heat thing is almost like a disclaimer so that people don’t mess things up early on after the initial surgery. I use the heating pad to loosen everything up so I can bend my knee a lot better and then right after my exercises I throw the ice on!😊🥶
i understand that the heat is for before streeching
Yes, this is one beneficial use of heat to relax muscles and promote blood flow before performing stretching and range of motion exercises.
